You’re better off buying centipede grass seed
Q: I am searching for information on allowing my centipede grass to put up seed heads which I could mow in hopes of thickening coverage of my lawn. I found information on planting seed, but nothing about how to increase the germination of the seed heads that are currently seeding out.
A: Those flower spikes you see on your centipede grass don’t produce many viable seed. Centipede seed producers have all manner of fans and machines to separate the good seed from the bad seed. That’s one of the reasons why centipede seed is so expensive. As you have noticed, the seeds are produced in the fall but centipede grass seeds are best planted in late spring. I think you would be better off to buy some TifBlair seed and plant them in May.
