Kikuyu
Kikuyu is a light green grass with a runner style growth with strong repair capabilities and wearability. It is affordable and durable, which is the reason it is one of Australia's most popular turf varieties for domestic and commerical uses including sports grounds, ovals and schools.
It grows well in many areas around Australia including coastal areas and the black soil plains. It needs full sun and does not perform as well in shaded areas as other grasses.
Fertilizer regularly with CK88 (or similar) during the growing period during Spring and Summer.
Frequent mowing during Summer is required to maintain a maniquired look and to ensure it doesn't become thatchy. Kikuyu is invasive and will creep over the top of, and cover other plants, so keep the garden edges trimmed.
Kikuyu goes dormant with the onset of the cooler months. Frosts will render the kikuyu dull, but will become green again when the temperature rises in Spring.
