For best results, prepare a firm, clean seedbed, seed evenly, lightly rake or roll the seed into the soil, and keep the area consistently moist until seedlings are established. Fall seeding is often preferred for cool-season grasses because warm soil and cooler air temperatures support strong germination and root development.
Important Note
Falcon IV is intended for turf and lawn use, not for pasture, hay, or livestock grazing. Endophyte-enhanced turf-type fescues can contain compounds that are beneficial for turf persistence but may be unsuitable for animals that consume the grass.
