Kikuyu is a popular lawn choice around Australia. It requires minimal care and once it’s germinated and established it will tolerate heavy wear and tear. Kikuyu is a highly drought tolerant grass variety and holds its colour well in most situations.
Landscape Range Turbocote Kikuyu Lawn Seed is a WARM SEASON grass that requires a minimum soil temperature of 18°+ degrees to germinate (ideally 25°-30°). The name of this variety is Whittet, which is an improved Kikuyu variety. Turbocote is a moisture absorbent coating that adds benefits and weight to the seed.
This variety thrives in warmer months. It has a medium texture, a robust turf density and will establish and persist well on poor soils and those with low fertility. In some states where temperatures drop significantly it will go into dormancy, where growth is limited and discoloration can occur. Colour and growth will re-establish when warmer weather returns, however over-sowing with a cool season grass can provide all year round colour.
