This grass is easy to establish by seed. Seed alone at a rate of 3 to 5 lbs. per acre, or 1 to 2 lbs. per acre in mixtures with other species. Seeds will germinate quickly and plant growth is rapid. The seed is extremely fine, requiring mechanical seeding equipment to have small seed attachments. If seeded with a hand cyclone seeder, the Lovegrass Seed should be mixed with a diluent or a carrier (cornmeal, sand, or fine sawdust) for uniform distribution of seed. Do not cover seed more than 1/2 to 1 in. on sandy soils; 1/4 in. is sufficient on silt loams. Cultipacking soil before seeding is helpful. Sites too steep or stony for use of mechanical equipment can be seeded without soil scarification. Broadcast seeding by air or use of hydroseeders is successful if seeding rates are increased to compensate for poor seedbed. Where possible, the soil should be scarified and firmed. Normally, weeping Lovegrass can be planted after danger of severe frost is over, and anytime throughout the summer with success. Lime and fertilizer needs are similar to that for Tall Fescue and Ryegrass when used for temporary cover.
