If you buy really cheap grass seed it’s likely to have a lot of annual rye grass and other not so desirable grasses. Don’t buy the lowest price and don’t buy the highest-priced seed. My suggestion is to go to a place that sells bulk grass seed, maybe a full-service garden center or farm supply store and shop price.įind a good middle of the road blend of grass seed.
Like everything else, with grass seed you get what you pay for. So when you use a blend of grass seed, the fast germinating perennial rye grasses act as a nurse crop protecting the Kentucky blue grass seeds while they go through their long germination period.Ĭlick here to see grass seed germination time. Quick germination is important because if you planted a lawn of 100% Kentucky blue grass chances are the lawn will be full of quick germinating weeds before the Kentucky blue has a chance to even come up. Secondly, it takes Kentucky blue grass a long time to germinate, up to 28 days, whereas perennial rye grasses can germinate in as few as 5 or 6 days.
But you want perennial rye grasses in your lawn because they are quick germinating, they have a nice green color and most of the varieties used today have a fine texture, almost as fine as Kentucky blue grass.
