Various grass species germinate at different temperatures, and this also equates to how long it will take the grass seed to fully grow. For example, perennial ryegrass is a cool season grass and only requires temperatures of degrees consistently to germinate. This makes it extremely fast growing, especially within the UK, as degrees consistently during sowing season spring, summer, early autumn is easy to achieve.
Fescues however, require slightly warmer temperatures of 10 degrees plus to germinate. In a mild spring and warm summer in the UK, we usually hit these temperatures and this will help to speed up germination — but as you can imagine, we hit degrees a lot earlier and more consistently, making perennial ryegrass relatively faster growing than fescue within the UK.
Grass seed mixtures are often a blend of multiple species. What is in your mix will dictate how fast it will grow. Well, your lawn needs watered. After sowing your grass seed, you should water your lawn once a day daily and deeply for the first few weeks.
Gradually decrease the frequency of watering and increase the duration. The type of lawn sprinklers you use, climate variables, soil types , and grass types will all affect watering requirements. Your beautiful new green lawn will be walkable and mowable when the grass is 4 inches high.
Mowing before the grass is fully established slows root development and could ruin your hard work. Your lawn will continue to grow thicker as long as growing conditions are favorable.
Knowing how to grow grass from seed can make this landscaping activity more fun than frustrating. Time the grass planting according to the grass type and expected or average temperatures.

Growing a new lush lawn or overseeding a seasonal grass depends plenty on the types of grass, growing zone, and your care.
Here are common questions about growing grass seed and the answers. Watering new grass seed is the most important factor in getting grass seed to germinate. You might need to water up to four times a day for the first 2 weeks, gradually reducing how often you water but increasing how long the sprinklers run.

Not all fast-growing grass may tolerate the temperatures where you live, so select the right seed for your climate zone: either cool-season or warm-season. Cool-season grasses thrive in places with temperate summers and many below-freezing winter days—think Northern California, the Pacific Northwest, the upper Great Plains, the upper Midwest, and New England.
Warm-season grasses grow best in areas that see hot summers and milder winters, such as the Deep South and the southeast.
Both cool- and warm-season grasses will grow well, so take your pick or plant a warm-season grass first, then overseed it plant over it with a cool-season grass.
As indicated by the growth periods above, cool-season grasses grow faster on the whole than warm-season grasses. So if you live in a warm or transitional climate zone and will be growing a warm-season grass e.
