The germination time for grass seed ranges from 5 to 30 days depending on the variety. It can be even longer than this in cooler temperatures. This is how long it will take to actually see the grass growing. Until this point, the seed, or the soil and mulch in contact with the seed, must stay moist.It doesnât need to be soggy or swimming, but moist. Once the new grass is visible, the roots are also growing down into the soil.atering new grass seed puts you at risk for a mess: 1  seed washed away or floated into clumps and bare spots; 2  seed sticking to muddy shoes when you move the sprinkler; 3  soft sinking soil leaves a trail of footprints across the lawn.
When you plant grass seeds, it is important to match the grass species to your local climate and plant the seeds at the correct time and rate. To get a rough idea how long for your lawn to get established, add 30 to 45 days to the germination time.ard fescue (Festuca longifolia) and red fescue (Festuca rubra) seeds take seven to 14 days. Plant 7 to 9 pounds of annual ryegrass seed or 6 to 9 pounds of perennial ryegrass per 1,000 square feet in the fall.
