Choosing the Right Grass Seed

Selecting the right grass seed can make all the difference to your lawn’s look and performance. Bunnings grass seed products are widely available, but it's important to consider the grass type, germination speed, drought-tolerance, and ongoing maintenance requirements. At our nursery, we offer a curated selection of top-performing lawn seeds developed for local conditions.

For those after a fine-textured, dense green carpet, our Fine Fescue Lawn Seed is a standout choice. Fine fescue is known for its ability to thrive in shade, low fertility soils, and areas needing lower maintenance. Its fine leaf blades create a soft, elegant look for gardens and formal lawns.

If you need a hard-wearing, fast-establishing lawn, consider Amenity Ryegrass Seed (Lawn Seed). Amenity ryegrass is ideal for families and high-traffic areas, offering rapid germination and exceptional resilience in New Zealand’s unpredictable weather. It’s a great alternative to standard Bunnings grass seed options if you desire a tough, easy-care lawn.

Ornamental and Hardy Grasses

Want to add structure, texture, or year-round interest to your garden beds or borders? While some people look to Bunnings grass seed for traditional lawns, ornamental grasses can transform a space with minimal upkeep.

For striking foliage and a splash of variegated colour, Acorus Albo Variegata (Variegated Sweet Flag) adds a beautiful accent along ponds or garden edges. If you’re after a contemporary, architectural look, Restio tetraphyllus (Tassel Grass) brings subtle movement and height with its wispy form, perfect for low-maintenance planting schemes.

For erosion control, waterwise gardening, or as a feature plant, Chrysopogon zizanioides (Vetiver) is a robust option—renowned for its deep roots and adaptability to challenging conditions.
