Planting Landscape Grass Seeds

Planting in the spring will allow the root systems of the grasses to develop before the winter. The warmth of the soil during the spring and summer will allow the grass to strengthen and grow without the threat of frost. Plant grass seeds in the spring after the last expected frost has passed.

Sprinkle a package of seeds onto the top of the soil evenly. Gently scatter a layer of seeds onto the soil. Cover the entire area where you want the grasses to grow. Spread the seeds as evenly as possible.

Purchase seeds at a gardening center or online.
The number of packages of seeds you will need will depend on the species of ornamental grass that you are planting.
To ensure that your newly planted seeds get the moisture they need, moisten the whole area right after planting with a large watering can or sprinkler.

Water landscape grasses once a week during their first growth season. While landscape grasses are developing their root systems, they require regular watering. Once your landscape grasses are fully grown, they will only require watering in the event of a drought period.

The time your landscape grasses take to reach maturity will depend on the type of grass you plant.

Prune seasonal grasses during the winter or early spring. When grasses begin to brown or wither in the cold, trim them with pruning shears to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the ground. Winter or early spring pruning will allow healthy grass to emerge as the weather warms up
