📋 What to Expect
With regular watering, fescue seeds germinate in 1–2 weeks. Plants stay small for the first couple of months — that's normal. Mow at 2–4 inches during the first growing season and water consistently through dry spells. Once established, your lawn needs very little attention.
🗓️ When to Seed
Fescues are flexible and can be seeded in spring, summer, or fall. For upper Midwest states like Wisconsin, aim for late April to early May when soil temperatures reach around 55°F. Dormant seeding in late fall (over frozen ground or fresh snow) is also an option. Avoid seeding right before hot, dry stretches and keep soil moist during germination.
