Overseeding  Rate: 1.00 kg - 4.00 kg per acre

Additional Information:
Tufted Hairgrass establishes best in heavier or moist soils or in sheltered locations such as on the fringes of mature woodland. It does not do well on free draining soils or in areas likely to dry out during the summer months. The leaves turn golden in colour during the latter months of the growing season. The most reliable establishment is obtained from spring to early autumn sowings into a warm soil.
Tufted Hairgrassl may be introduced into grassland providing the area is well prepared. The existing grass must be topped or grazed very short then repeatedly harrowed to expose sufficient soil as to create a seedbed. The seeds should be surface sown and the area lightly rolled to consolidate the ground ensuring the seeds are in good contact with the soil. Occasional topping prevents developing seedlings from becoming smothered during establishment. Avoid grazing in its first year.
