The Best Time to Plant Grass Seed in South Carolina

Cool-Season Grass
Tall fescue is a cool-season grass popular in the mountains and upper Piedmont areas of South Carolina, according to Clemson University Extension. You should plant tall fescue seed in the fall, and it may require annual reseeding.
Warm-Season Grass
Warm-season grasses, which grow well throughout the state, should be planted in the spring. Bermuda, St. Augustine, Centipede and Zoysia are all good choices.
Overseeding
Many South Carolina homeowners overseed their dormant, warm-season lawns with perennial or annual ryegrass. Sowing in the fall, about 30 days before the first frost, ensures a green cover during the winter when warm-season grass turns brown, according to Clemson University Extension.
