Time Frame
-
Kentucky bluegrass is one of the slower grasses to germinate. It typically takes two to three weeks to see sprouts, depending on the growing conditions and climate.
Seed Rate
-
Spread 2 to 3 lbs. of seed per 1,000 square feet. While Kentucky bluegrass can be seeded year-round, it's best to seed the lawn in the spring or fall.
Care

Pay close attention to the moisture of the soil to help Kentucky bluegrass germinate faster. Give the seed frequent waterings -- two or three times every day for the first two weeks. Once you see sprouts, cut back on watering.
