Characteristics
Hancock's Argentine Bahia Fall & Winter Grass Seed Mix is a great replacement option for problematic lawns and pastures, especially in warmer climates. Its deep and dense root structure allows it to perform well under drought conditions and it is one of the most environmentally-friendly lawn and pasture varieties available.
Argentine Bahia Grass has wide, broad leaves with a light to medium green color. Bahia's require a minimum of 8 hours of sunlight for optimal growth. Once established, Argentine Bahia Grass produces 10 to 12 feet of deep and dense root structure.
The Ryegrass is added to assist in fast ground coverage, aids in weed suppression, retaining soil moisture and preventing soil and seed erosion. Plus, it gives you a beautiful, green lawn during the fall and winter months! The Ryegrass will germinate in 7 days under optimal conditions and grow until the night time temperatures are 65 degrees and above, consistently. Once the temperatures begin to warm up, then the Ryegrass will die off. The Argentine Bahia will begin to germinate once the night time temperatures are 65 degrees and above, consistently.
Coated seed is surrounded in a clay based coating which aids in moisture retention for germination, birds tend not to eat the coated seed, and it is easier to see where it has been spread. The coating takes up a portion of the bag, which means less seed per pound but you are getting the added benefit of the coating. The raw seed is just how it sounds, seed in the purest form - not coated or mixed with anything.
Hancock's Argentine Fall & Winter Grass Seed Mix contains:
Argentine Bahia Grass Seed - Coated
Ryegrass Seed - Raw
Hancock's Argentine Fall & Winter Seed mix typically has 75% Argentine Bahia Grass Seed and 25% Ryegrass Seed. The percentages of mixes can vary slightly from year to year. Please call our office with any questions (800-552-1027).
Soil Prep
- When choosing to start a new lawn, remove old vegetation by using a de-thatcher, power rake or tiller to kill the existing vegetation. Rake or drag the area to remove debris and dead grass for a clean area. Ensure the soil is leveled and loosened to allow the seed to have good soil contact once spread on a clean seed bed.
- If you have an area with heavy weed coverage, we recommend starting fresh by killing and removing the existing vegetation.
- When overseeding an existing area, mow your lawn at the lowest setting and bag the clippings. Rake or drag any areas that have dead thatch or debris.
Seeding
- Seeding Rate: 2 - 3 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. or 100-150 lbs. per acre
- Overseeding Rate: 1 - 2 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. or 50 - 100 lbs. per acre
- Spread at the recommended rate based on total area and whether it is bare ground or pre-existing vegetation.
- Spreader Settings: There is not any one setting that applies for all brands of spreaders. We recommend reviewing the seed settings chart that came with your spreader or contact the manufacturer directly. Ensure you are choosing a seed on the list by the manufacturer that closely resembles the seed you are choosing to plant.
- If you have any concerns on what setting you should use, we recommend always starting with the smallest option then adjusting it to match the recommended seeding rate.
Fertilizer
- Grass like all living things need food to survive. Food for grasses is fertilizer. We recommend fertilizing every 3 - 4 months with Hancock's 16-04-08 Lawn & Pasture Fertilizer. Our 16-04-08 Lawn and Pasture Fertilizer is custom blended to provide a slow-releasing, water-activated economical fertilizer. Hancock's 16-04-08 Lawn & Pasture Fertilizer can be applied at a rate of 5 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. or 250 lbs. per acre. The most probable cause of a declining lawn or pasture is poor nutrition. If you have any concerns about your soil, we recommend getting your soil tested to determine what nutrients you are low in as well as your pH. The results of the soil testing will give you the best information to amend your soil for the best grass growth.
Watering Schedule
- For best results, water your lawn each morning and evening for 30 minutes based on weather conditions, until the new seedlings have reached the height of 3 - 5 inches for lawns or 8 - 20 inches for pasture.
- Once they have reached that height, water 3 times per week as needed. Goal is to keep the soil moist while not creating puddles or over-watering.
Germination Time
- Ryegrass - 7 days, under optimal conditions
- Argentine Bahia - 21 - 30 days, under optimal conditions
Mowing Requirements
- Lawns: Mow at 3 - 5 inches regularly.
- Pastures: Mow or allow grazing to keep pastures maintained at 8-20 inches.

United StatesGreat service and product. No problems with order
Excellent! Happy to hear that you are having good results with the argentine mix. Thank you for your review!
United StatesThe product was as advertised. I have found no complaints with this Baha grass see. I ordered a small amount to reseed and so far the rye mixture is doing good. When the rye gets a little I will mow it to let the Bahia grow. Very good instructions on what to do at planting on their web . I’m pleased and will reorder in March. I live in central Florida.
Awesome! We are glad to hear that you are seeing good results with the bahia mix and that our website was helpful for your planting. Thank you for your review!
United StatesThe rye has sprouted. I covered it all with a mulched straw. I'm waiting for the Bahai grass.
Awesome! Happy to hear you are seeing good results. The temperatures will have to be warmer before you start to see the bahia. Thank you for your review and for choosing Hancock Seed!
United StatesSo far it's done really well. The rye grass is growing and it sprouts very fast. I'm waiting to see the bahia grass come up once it warms up. I'm going to order more to finish reseeding.
Excellent. Glad you are having great success with the ryegrass seed. We are sure you will see great results with the bahia as well. Thank you for your review!
