Overview

This low maintenance grass seed mix brings together a very wide variety of species, many of which grow slowly, so it suits sites where mowing takes place only occasionally. Crested Dogstail is included to speed up establishment and help build a well-balanced sward.

Applications

Sites where mowing is infrequent
Shaded areas
Areas prone to drought

Key Features

Sowing Guidance

Before sowing, prepare the ground so that:
- stones and weeds have been cleared;
- drainage is adequate;
- the surface is firm and level;
- the surface is damp.
Spread the seed evenly at the correct sowing rate, to a depth of roughly 10 mm.
Keep the surface moist for a minimum of 2 - 3 weeks.
Carry out the first cut once the grass reaches 5 - 6 cm in height and has begun tillering.
