When planting grass seed, does each seed equal one blade of grass, or does one seed provide more coverage?

Question

When planting grass seed, does each seed equal one blade of grass, or does one seed provide more coverage?

Answer 1

more than one blade of grass

Answer 2

One seed is one blade of grass, but as that blade of grass grows it can A) send out shoots or B) creates seeds. The question whether the grass sends out shoots or seeds depends on the type of grass.

Answer 3

It starts out as one seed is one blade, but as it grows, it will spread, like any other plant.

Answer 4

One of the drawbacks to Fescue is that one seed equal one blade of grass

Other seed puts out more than one  blade of grass, just check in your flower bed when you weed and see the tufts of grass that get in there

Answer 5

Wrong!  Each seed equates to one grass PLANT (not one blade).  If the grass is a clumping grass it will spread (upon maturity) and develop multiple shoots from the crown.  One grass seedling, upon maturity, will produce a plant that is roughly 3-4"  in diameter (10-16 leaves/blades)

Answer 6

One seed =one blade of grass. It may spread over time, but in the beginning you only get one blade per seed.
