No, I don't believe it can tolerate your summer heat. This is a cool season grass. Likes temps 0-high 70s or possibly 80
Thank you for your question. You can seed after all danger of frost when your night temps are not dropping below 50 degrees.
Thank you for your question. Our KY 31 is coated as most of our seed. If you wish to purchase uncoated, you will need to ask for raw seed. We think coated seed is best. Our coating contains nutrients that help give the seed a better chance of survival against disease and insects making it a healthier grass once established. 800-285-7333
KY 31 is a cool season grass that needs to be sown in the spring and fall. Yes, it is good for MD. Best temps for sowing this seed is daytime, 75 and dropping and nights not dropping below 50.
Good morning, Thank you for your question. Our seed is tested and grown in the US, unfortunately we do not know your clime so we cannot answer your question. KY 31 is a cool season grass that we recommended to plant (our spring or fall) when day temps are 60-75 with nights not dropping below 50. It needs 45 days before frost or freeze to become established with a deep enough root system to take it through cold temps. We suggest you could do a test plot with it or reach out to your agriculture department to ask them.
Seed does lose its viability. The Department of Agriculture says seed is good 18-24 months from the test date. The test date can be found on the seed tag of the product. We suggest you return the product to the retailer i(f unopened) and purchase a fresher product. The seed if stored properly, cool and dry should still be viable in 2025.
Hello! Tall Fescue can grow in sandy soil, as the roots are deep and the grass is hardy. However, it will not grow well in sand.
