| I'm trying Blue Fescue-festuca glauca from seed from '09. I surface sowed on March 23, 2012, covered w/thin layer of sand; don't see anything yet. Soil is moist, clean seed starting mix.
When can I expect germination?

| Thanks! So I should be ok with 2009 seeds? |

| Yes, the seed is said to be viable 6-7 years (stored dry, not exposed to moisture or wildly fluctuating temps), although I haven't stored it that long myself...You could possibly get a lower percentage germination with 3 yr old seed but you should have sprouts - and most of us tend to sow more than we need anyway :). |
