Why do seeds grow quickly after being frozen?

Not all seeds do, but many seeds from regions with cold winters require freezing in order to break their dormancy. This helps the seeds to germinate at the appropriate time. If seeds that fell in fall germinated immediately, they would face freezing winter temperatures which could damage or kill them. Seeds that germinate after freezing are more likely to grow in spring with lots of warm weather ahead of them.

Will grass seed be killed from freezing when you are seeding?

Freezing seed is an acceptable method of storing seeds however once they are thawed they need to germinated straight away.

So in short avoid sowing your seeds until the last frost or snow fall have happened. Cheers, Barry
