Transplanting Centipede in Fall

Question

Can centipede grass be sprigged in the fall and survive? How late in the fall can this be done for the middle central Georgia area?

Answer 1

While some would say fall planting is desirable, I would suggest waiting until spring to plant this warm-season grass. Generally, sprigs and sod will not produce roots unless the soil temperature exceeds 55 degrees F for several weeks.
