Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips

When to Grow
The best time to plant Blue Buddy grass is 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant into the garden or place outside after the danger of last spring frost has passed. Plant in a location with full sun as a landscape filler, in mixed plantings, or in containers.
How to Sow and Plant
Prepare well-drained soil by loosening it to a depth of 2-3 inches and clearing any debris. Surface-sow the seeds by pressing them lightly into the soil without covering them, and space them 9-12 inches apart. After sowing, water gently to keep the soil moist until germination occurs, typically within 10-21 days.
How to Grow
Blue Buddy grass is relatively low-maintenance. It grows best in full sun and prefers moderate watering, though it can tolerate dry conditions once mature. Fertilize lightly during the growing season to promote lush growth. Regularly trim back any dead or damaged foliage to maintain a tidy appearance.
How to Save
- Cut off dried seed heads and place them in a paper bag. Loose seeds will fall to the bottom of the bag. Seeds still in the seed head will continue to dry until they are ready to fall out.
- After 1-2 weeks shake the bag to dislodge the remaining seeds.
- Separate seed from the chaff.
- Store in a cool, dry, dark place until you are ready to plant.
