All about Kikuyu Whittet Grass Seed Species: Pennisetum ClandestinumKikuyu is an easy grass to grow, with its broad runner style growth. Assuming there is adequate moisture at planting time and reasonable soil fertility, you should have a great looking lawn in 12 weeks.
Kikuyu needs to be mowed often, especially through the summer months. The seed variety “Whittet” is taller and more productive species, than the common kikuyu. It has broader and thicker stems and produces a more open sward*. It has a better survival rate than the common kikuyu in low or declining soil fertility. *Sward: A measure of the thickness or leafiness of a grass crop Seed should be sown in spring to early summer, when temperature promotes rapid growth, but not too hot to fry emerging seedlings. Alternatively, in late summer to early autumn, when there is more reliable soil moisture. Seedlings are very sensitive to moisture stress, so we encourage you to keep the soil moist but not flooded! Application Rates for pure kikuyu seed The sowing rate of “Whittet” seed is 4kg/acre or 10kg/ha (equivalent to1kg/1000m2) for irrigated pasture or the suburban back yard. 1kg seed – spreads over ¼ acre or 1000m2 2kg seed – spreads over½ acre or 2000m2 4kg seed – spreads over 1 acre 10kg seed – spreads over 1 hectare
