Common warm-season grasses and their germination times are: While these grasses may be tall enough to mow within 2 months of seeding, full, dense establishment takes up to a year. Cold weather can interrupt the germination process and possibly kill young grass plants.įor the fastest germination, warm-season grasses need soil temperatures between 60 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit, and daytime temperatures that are consistently above 80 degrees. As you might expect, warm-season grasses like it hot. Tall fescue : 7 to 12 days to germinateĭue to longer germination time and the amount of time it takes for root development, warm-season grasses grow more slowly than cool-season grasses.Kentucky bluegrass : 7 to 10 days to germinate.Annual or perennial ryegrass: 5 to 10 days to germinate.Here are grass seed germination times for some popular cool-season types. With proper care, all of these grasses can grow from seed to lawn in as few as 30 days. These grasses grow best when soil temperatures are between 50 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit, which corresponds with air temperatures between 60 and 75 degrees.
