Reading Grass Seed Labels: Germination Rates and Test Dates Matter

Georgia law mandates seed labels showing weed seed count, germination percentage, and test date. Use this data:

• Higher germination % = better quality
• Recent test date (within 6 months) = less storage degradation
• Avoid seed tested last year—germination declines with age

Buy the freshest, highest-germination seed you can find. It's the foundation of a successful lawn.
