Frequently Asked Questions

Can you plant grass seed in the winter?

Yes, you can plant grass seed in the winter, as long as temperatures are above 3°C and no frost is present/expected. To give the seed the best chance to thrive, we recommend a winter-specific blend.

What is the best grass seed for winter overseeding?

If you’re overseeding in winter, you should use specially formulated winter grass seed. If you get a warm spell, you can leverage the winter repair mix along with a germination blanket—ideal for lawns and sports grounds with high traffic.

How to store grass seed over the winter?

Grass seed should be kept dry and away from frost, so anywhere that’s away from a direct heat source, freezing conditions, or moisture is a good place to store your grass seed over winter.
