PLANTING INSTUCTIONS AND CARE: Seeding Your New Lawn - March and April are the best planting months, but quicker germination will occur during May, June and July when the soil is warmer. 🌱 No Gemination of early plantings can be expected until soil temperatures become 70° F or Higher and the soil is kept consistently moist for 2-3 weeks. 🌱 Since cold will kill young seedlings, planting should be done no later than the end of August in Florida and coastal areas, early August in the mid-south and early July in the upper South. 🌱 Mix Centipede Grass Seed with dry sand at approximately one pound Centipede Grass Seed to 25 pounds of sand and hand scatter. 🌱 Mix into the upper one-half inch of soil by vigorous but light raking with a regular steel-tooth rake. Little germination can be expected from seed left on top of the soil, and seed buried more than one-half inch deep will not germinate. A roller will not embed the seed sufficiently for good germination. 🌱 On sloping areas where there is potential for serious water erosion, you may wish to mulch lightly with straw, distributed thinly to allow the seedling to emerge from the cover.

It is growing really well. Looks like 100% of the seed sprouted and is growing.As for the Scott's seed, it was an utter failure. Only a small 5% patch of the seed sprouted and everywhere we planted it we can see the seed lying there doing nothing, even with regular watering. A complete and utter failure.I am sure wishing I had bought 4 bags of this great seed, as I have not wasted all that time effort, topsoil and water on the front yard with no success, and I could have gotten 4 bags of this seed instead.Live and learn. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks great *by on Reviewed in the United States July 25, 2026* Come up easier than most centipede I’ve ever planted! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Understand the committment and time it takes to grow centipede grass and you'll be very satisfied. *by on Reviewed in the United States April 8, 2023* This might sound like a lot of work, but it won't be if you prepare ahead of time and commit to the process. It took me around 30 minutes to spread it, and I had sprouts in 10 days. It's been about a month and the grass is looking great. Set your expectations!I leveled a corner of my backyard around 30' x 30' (900 sq. ft) with new fill dirt and wanted centipede grass to grow there. About 1/4 of this area is in full shade, another 1/4 is part-shade, and the remaining 1/2 is full sun. I wasn't sure if centipede would grow in the shadier areas, but figured this bag would be my test.Since I was starting with new soil as my base layer, I got it wet with a sprinkler -- which also allowed me to find the right area to set it up in and keep it there for watering over the next few months. I didn't soak the soil, just got it moist enough that the seeds would be on damp ground. I poured this bag, which might contain two handfuls total of seed, into a wheelbarrow and mixed in some top soil and some sand. Not as much as they recommended -- but enough to make grabbing a handful from the wheelbarrow feel like 85% dirt + sand.Since the top soil was dark and the sand was light, it made spreading the seed easy to track. I started in the furthest corner (the shadier area) and tossed handfuls of the mixture very lightly, as evenly as I could. Some areas got a little more, some a little less. Once I had covered the whole 30' x 30' area with a light coating of the seed mixture, which again was easy to tell thanks to having light-colored sand mixed in, I went back and tossed some more in the areas I could tell needed more, and in areas I was concerned would get washed away.Then, I added about one full wheelbarrow of top soil onto the whole area. Much like before, the sand made it easy to tell where I should toss the dark top soil so the light-colored sand was hardly visible. I used the whole bag of seed, a whole wheelbarrow of soil and sand mixed, and another whole wheelbarrow of just top soil to cover the entire 30' x 30' area.Something to note: the bag says it covers 4000 sq. ft. and I used the whole bag in an area less than 1/4 of that size, and I wouldn't have changed a thing. I wanted the grass to be thick, and it's growing exactly how I wanted it to. Adjust your expectations if this is different than you want.I think a lot of people don't do the prep work to ensure the seeds get a fighting chance. That's not the fault of the seller, the company, or the seeds themselves. You can't just throw these seeds onto bald spots and think they'll grow.But the other failure point is the watering. It takes A LOT of water to get these guys sprouting. Like I said, I had set up and tested a sprinkler ahead of time, and immediately after spreading the seeds, I ran the sprinkler for an hour. I really soaked them, but made sure no puddles would form, since this would make the seeds collect in a pile.Then I ran the sprinkler four times a day, every day. My loosely-followed schedule was: 20 minutes in the early morning, 20 minutes around noon, 20 minutes in the afternoon, and 20 minutes in the evening. I did this every day for 10 days before the first sprouts started appearing.And to my surprise, I got sprouts even in the area that was full shade! Not sure how well that grass will grow long term, and the sprouts there number about 1/4th as much as the areas in full sun. But I'm happy with any grass in the shade areas!I ended up buying another bag about a month after spreading the first bag because there were some areas I missed, and some areas where heavy rain caused the seed to move before it could sprout. I mixed another full 1lb bag of seeds with a full wheelbarrow of only top soil and I tossed it in the bald areas, and put the remaining mixture in other spots of my yard. Again, it took around 10 days for the new sprouts to appear in the bald spots. I was still watering via sprinkler 4 times daily. The bald spots in the other areas of my yard where I threw the excess seed mixture have sprouted too, but less dense and a lot slower because I watered them by hose so they weren't being saturated as much as I did the others.tl;dr: I'm very satisfied. Yes, this grass seed is expensive, so hopefully it'll encourage you to properly plant it and care for it. Make sure you spread it evenly, cover it with a thin layer of soil, and water it wayyyy more often than you probably think you should. ## Frequently Bought Together - Centipede Grass Seed for a Dense Green Lawn, NO Mulch, 1 lb Coated Seeds, Sun and Moderate Shade Tolerant Lawn Seeding and Turf Patch Repair, Southern Southeast US, Low Fertilizer Low Maintenance - Scotts Turf Builder Centipede Grass Seed & Mulch, Grows a Thick, Low-Maintenance Lawn, 5 lbs. - TifBlair Centipede Grass Seed (1 Lb.)
