Penncross creeping bent grass can be seeded from 1-2 pounds per 1,000 square feet depending on the application. Cover seed to a depth not exceeding ¼" and keep seedlings moist until well rooted. Germination will take place in 7-15 days depending on soil temperatures, and the first mowing may be expected within 30 days, or when the plants have sufficiently rooted. Mow at a 3/4" height of cut or lower until turf is established. Limited use of the area can be expected in 6 weeks.

Seeding Rate & Planting Time

  • New turf: 1 - 2 pounds per 1,000 square feet
