Is it too late to plant this seed in mid/end of May in Zone 6B? Temps are 85-50 F. If so, would you recommend planting in Sept/Oct?

Plant your grass when all danger of frost is over for at least 4 weeks. Some plant grass right on top of the last snow and let melt right down to the wet earth. I strongly recommend planting grass in tilled soil and then press-roll it into the soil and/or walk it in. by pressing it a little into the loose soil, it gives the grass much more chance of developing strong roots and not being washed away or eaten by birds. You can plant grass all summer long if you keep it moist morning and night and cover it with mulch after stepping it in. Water, water water.

I would say yes. The absolute best time to plant grass seed is in the fall. If you plant in the spring, the grass seedlings don't get much chance to develop a good root system. I suggest you wait until Sept/Oct.

I would only plant in spring if you are able to water frequently. New grass has a hard time in July and Aug.

i have not received my seed yet , apparently it got lost but the shipper is re-sending it to me. in the caribbean here we just plant in the soil , but for other countries with snow you have to refridgerate for at least 2 - 4 weeks before planting.

I live in California, and usually start my seeding the 2nd or 3rd of March. For you, being in a colder climate, might not be a bad idea to wait until about the middle of the month. Start your seeding indoor, and transfer the plants to the ground about 6 weeks later.Good luck.

I planted mine in the spring, but it never grew. Check with your local nursery.

I'm not an expert but I think if you cover the seed and keep it moist. But generally early spring and late summer is the accepted norm.

I am yet to find out. I have delayed in planting because I have been experiencing really weird weather for the past 7 months. I was hoping to plant this month (Jan 2014) but with the very wet weather, the plants may not even grow and I do want to maximize the potential for them to sprout (if they are viable). As soon as I have a response - positive or negative (and hopefully in the next two months) I will post it. My sincere apologies.

I live in north west Alabama where the temperature always drops below freezing in the winter. I plan to bring the pomegranate inside this fall. It is outside now in a large pot, 28 April, and it is growing very well. If the grower expects temperatures below 40 deg F, bring it insideJohn Phillips

I would wait until Spring or better yet Summer, when the nut sedge are visible. I did it in the late summer and it worked.

I think you can still plant it as it will grow as long as it's warm. Mine came up within 3 days of planting so it would still have all of August and September to grow. If you are in Texas like me, it will have October and part of November to grow. If you get some blooms, they will turn into seeds you can plant next year.

I would say as long as the ground isn't frozen, then you can plant them. I'm zone 5a (new york) and I'll probably be planting mine around mid-april.

Yes. I planted my seeds in the March first (I live in Lebanon on the Mediterranean sea) the weather was mild (around 65-75 degrees). Nothing happened, I was disappointed till yesterday May 15, I discovered the plant is growing all over.

I believe you are in climate zone 6. So your spring is just starting. Now would be a good time to put this on. You should wait till the weather is in the 50 degree range or above. Good luck.

Hey Burrel, I just purchased the seed myself and have not been able to see how it is going to respond yet. Good luck!

When you don't have any more cold/frost at night. Here in Ct., I put my seedlings in end of April, beginning of May. It's a good head start on what you put in your garden.

I live in Rhode Island and the winters are somewhat harsh. When would you recommend I plant the seeds?

Don't see why not. However, not sure because I just planted mine in North West Arkansas 4 weeks ago. Instructions mention that they come as late as June and you may not have any the first season. I don't have any yet. I would think June in Arkansas is April in Florida. Order now and plan on next April. We can always hope to be lucky this year.
