Sowing is carried out in the month of March, and it is better not to sprinkle the seeds with soil - when moistened from a spray bottle, the seeds with sharp tips themselves are drawn to the required depth, while giving more friendly shoots, and the top of the container should be covered with glass or film to maintain moisture.
At room temperature the seeds germinate in a couple of weeks. After the seedlings appear, the containers with the crops are transferred to a bright, more cool place, which avoids stretching and lodging of seedlings. Water the fescue seedlings very carefully - if there is waterlogging, root system plants may rot.
When the young plants are three centimeters high and have at least a couple of leaves, they should be planted in separate pots - one at a time or in a small bunch.

Landing dates and rules
Just as fescue itself is unpretentious, so is the process of planting it. Compliance simple conditions will ensure success in growing.
Gray fescue reproduces mainly by vegetative means; cultivation from seeds is also practiced. 
Seed propagation
The seed propagation method is used for species varieties. In this case, the seeds:
- sow in the ground;
- planted on ;
- use plants obtained as a result of self-seeding.
Important! Fescue trees planted in the ground and grown in seedlings take root equally well, but the former will germinate somewhat faster.

If you neglect this rule, there is a risk of getting a plant that is not adapted to local conditions, which will freeze after the first winter.
Planting by seeds It is carried out after the establishment of warm weather in the spring or before the onset of cold weather in the fall.
- Before planting, seeds that were collected independently should be pickled in a solution of potassium permanganate. If you purchased seed from a reputable seller, especially if there is an instruction on pre-treatment on the packaging, this is not necessary.
- You should plant 5-7 seeds in each hole so that they quickly form a lush tussock.
- The hole should not be too deep, maximum 5 centimeters.
- After planting the seeds in the ground, you need to cover them with soil mixture, compact them and water them.
- The interwell distance can be from 10 centimeters, depending on the desired result.
- After the first shoots appear, which will appear in a few weeks, semicircular lush hummocks will form very soon.
Planting seeds for seedlings occurs in early March, in order to plant stronger and older bushes in the first half of May. - The substrate must be light, air and water permeable; When sowing seeds, do not sprinkle them, but moisten them with a spray bottle.
- Cover with cellophane or glass and place the container in a warm, bright place. This will allow the seedlings to hatch in a few days.
- To prevent the seedlings from becoming thin and dying, the container will need to be moved to a place where it is cooler, however, it should be light.
- After the formation of two true leaves, seedlings to obtain lush bush dived in groups into separate containers.
- After the weather settles, most often this happens during the May holidays, the seedlings need to be planted in the ground.
Important! You should be very careful when it comes to moisture: excess moisture will lead to rotting and death of the roots.
Vegetative
Most often used vegetative way reproduction during transplantation and division of overgrown bushes. 
This should be done either in the spring before sap circulation begins, or in the fall, when the plants are preparing for winter.
- Bushes that have grown greatly and it is time to plant them should be divided into parts.
- The resulting divisions must be planted as independent plants.
- The core, which has fallen into disrepair and thanks to which the decorative look the entire bush, remove without using.
Important! Adults, at least two years old, divide the bushes.
To give the plant additional winter hardiness, the mother bush should be dug up with a lump of earth, planted in a container and placed in a lighted but cold place, for example, a greenhouse. In this case, any dampness should be excluded in order to avoid the death of the bush.
At the beginning of spring, when the time comes to plant fescue, the clump should be divided, the divisions planted in containers in a mixture of soil and sand.
