Why Use Kikuyu Fertiliser?

Premium Kikuyu Grass Seed produces a vigorous lawn, but ongoing nutrition is key to unlocking its full potential. Kikuyu is a hungry feeder, especially during its rapid spring and summer growth periods. Using a targeted kikuyu fertiliser ensures your lawn gets the right balance of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This creates a thick, lush covering that helps choke out weeds and recover quickly from heavy foot traffic or drought.

If you’re sowing new grass, consider starting with New Lawn Fertiliser to establish healthy, deep roots. For established kikuyu turf, routine applications of Lawn Fertiliser keep your grass in peak condition year-round.

How and When to Apply Fertiliser to Kikuyu Lawns

Kikuyu’s active growth season stretches from late spring to early autumn, making these the ideal times for feeding with kikuyu fertiliser. Begin with a slow-release fertiliser as the weather warms, following up with supplementary feedings every 6-8 weeks through the growing season. Even coverage is essential; you can use a spreader for larger lawns to ensure all areas receive the nutrients they need.

Water well after each application to help nutrients reach the root zone. Avoid fertilising in the cooler winter months, as kikuyu grass slows its growth and won’t absorb fertiliser as efficiently.

Creating a Healthy Lawn with Kikuyu and Companion Grasses

Combining Premium Kikuyu Grass Seed with other resilient varieties can help you achieve an evergreen lawn suited to your garden’s unique needs. For shaded areas, Fine Fescue Lawn Seed performs beautifully, while Amenity Ryegrass Seed (Lawn Seed) provides extra durability for high-traffic spaces. For those after a tall, drought-tolerant sward, Tall Fescue complements kikuyu’s spreading growth habit.
