Meadow Grass Seed FAQs
How long does meadow grass seed take to grow?
There are many different types of meadow grass seen which does mean it will depend on the species you’re growing. Usually, meadow grass takes up to about two weeks to germinate. It is important to ensure the grass has plenty of sunlight, oxygen and water to help it grow.
How to prepare the ground for meadow grass seed?
Ground preparation is important to ensure your meadow grass can grow. We recommend clearing the ground as much as possible, once cleared, create a clean level seedbed. After the meadow grass seed has been scattered, roll the ground after to ensure the seed is embedded in the soil.
If you are adding meadow seed to existing grass, make sure to cut the grass back short. Then rake or scarify the ground before scattering the seed and again rolling the ground to ensure the soil is embedded in the soil.
