First Mowing:First mowing should occur when the runners are approximately 20cm long (not high) and have taken root. Sowing Tips:Kikuyu prefers fertile, moderately drained, light to medium textured soils.Broadcast the seed at, or very near, the soil surface and incorporate lightly with raking.To ensure best coverage and avoid seed wastage we recommend using an appropriate seed spreaderfor the size of your area. If you find that weeds appear during establishment, these will generally be taken out by regular mowing once the lawn has reached around 3-4 inches in height. If the weeds are recurring, after 4 months, a Selective Weedkiller can be applied which will kill common lawn weeds, whilst leaving the existing grass unharmed. Germination: Within 10–21 days fine Kikuyu hairs should appear, however this is condition and climate dependent. Ideal for Autumn or Early spring renovations. Suitable for all heavy wear sports and hardwearing lawn/landscaping areas

Rapid to germinate and establish (even in cold conditions), extremely fast growing, high wear tolerance, drought tolerant, great all year-round colour and has a high resistance to disease.For cooler areas of Australia allow enough time after sowing for seedlings to establish to enable them to withstand the first cold days of Winter and frost. A guide for this is approximately 6 weeks post germination. Therefore, sowing early Autumn is usually the latest timeframe recommended for these areas, with Spring to late Summer being preferred.
