Fawn Fescue Germination

Preparation

• To establish a good stand of fawn fescue, you will need to prepare the bed by tilling it and adding starter fertilizer. Use a lawn roller to firm the bed so that the seed is in direct contact with the soil.

Planting

• Agriculturists with Texas A&M University suggest that you broadcast 6 to 8 lb. of fawn fescue seed per 1,000 square feet. Then, use the lawn roller to roll over the area again, packing the seeds into the soil.

Germination

• The key to success when germinating your fawn fescue is to keep the planting area moist at all times. The seeds should germinate fully within two to three weeks.
