It is common practice to store grass seed, like fescue (Festuca spp.), in a garage or storage shed until the next spring so that you are ready to reseed any patchy turf areas found after cold weather dissipates. This seed type is approximately 1/4 inch long with a baseball bat shape, so it compacts well into a burlap bag for storage. However, fescue seed can go bad if it is stored improperly, not just because of its age. Fescue seeds' longevity in storage depends partially on its harvesting climate and physical handling.
A soil temperature range of 50 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit, with air temperature of 60 to 75 degrees, is ideal for germination of fescue. Fescue grass will take as little as seven days to germinate, but it can take as many as 21 days for maximum germination. Keep the seedbed moist for best results. Planting grass seed on a well-prepared site with good soil and drainage will produce a light green, thin lawn in a week.
