how long does fescue seed last
It is common practice to store grass seed, like fescue (Festuca spp.), in a garage or storage shed until the next spring so that you are ready to reseed any patchy turf areas found after cold weather dissipates. This seed type is approximately 1/4 inch long with a baseball bat shape, so it compacts well into a burlap bag for storage. However, fescue seed can go bad if it is stored improperly, not just because of its age. Fescue seeds' longevity in storage depends partially on its harvesting climate and physical handling.
