Mexican Feather Grass - Germination

15 years ago

Hello,

I usually don't have any problem finding the answer to my question but I cannot find this information anywhere. If anybody has any information, I would really appreciate it.

I have thousands of Mexican Feather grass seeds. I have planted 2 - 50 count flats already. My question is, How long do the seeds take to germinate?

Prefers darkness to germinate. Cover the seeds and keep them moist.
