Pure Kikuyu Grass Seed

How to grow Pure Kikuyu Grass Seed in NZ

Kikuyu grass requires little in the way of fertiliser inputs and are easy care, hence their popularity. We recommend allowing the weeds to germinate and then spraying with Glyphosate at least 2-3 times before the lawn seed is applied. Best results are achieved when the grass seed is spread from late spring through until mid-autumn with irrigation, and on a site that is well-drained. Broadleaf weeds that germinate can be addressed with products such as TurfClean. The ideal mowing height is 25 mm and seeding rate is 10 grams per square metre. Any less than this and weed intrusion can become problematic. Kikuyu lawns are well suited to regions from Waikato north and this product is 100% pure Kikuyu seed. NB: Pure Kikuyu seed is often blended with annual Italian Rye seed to provide shade while the seed germinates. This helps give better overall establishment and the annual rye dies out during autumn.
