Planting Instructions:
Centipede grass is typically established from seeds, sod, or plugs. Plant seeds, sod, or plugs in late spring or early summer after the last frost when soil temperatures are consistently above 70°F (21°C). Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of 4-6 inches. For seeds, broadcast them evenly over the prepared area and lightly rake them into the soil. For sod or plugs, ensure good soil contact. Keep the soil consistently moist until the seeds germinate or the sod/plugs establish, which usually takes about 2-3 weeks.
