- Timothy seed Appearance: The seeds are very small and light, which makes them susceptible to wind during planting. Good soil-to-seed contact is essential for successful germination.Germination: Under optimal conditions, germination can occur in 7 to 14 days. However, the initial establishment is slow compared to more aggressive grasses.Planting: Seeds should be planted at a shallow depth of 1/8 to 1/4 inch into a firm seedbed. The best planting seasons are fall and spring when night temperatures are consistently cool.
