Couch, Bent, Bluegrass & Kikuyu Lawn Blend Range

Turf grasses can be broadly separated into two categories, cool season temperate grasses (ie fescue and ryegrass), and warm season tropical grasses (ie couch and kikuyu). Temperate, cooler season types tend to display deeper green colours and are aesthetically pleasing, but can lack the drought tolerance and toughness of the tropical grasses. Tropical grasses tend to be harder wearing although can turn brown through the colder months in more temperate climates (ie southern Australia). Tropical grasses use less water, a feature which has tended to promote these varieties more in recent times.
