This mix is all about putting on a show. The fine grasses will tolerate low mowing to as short as 5mm producing that classic ornamental lawn. Show Lawn is a blend of 75% creeping red fescues, 20% chewings fescues and 5% brown top bents. All our lawn grass seed mixes are blended from the best STRI listed cultivars to produce the ideal lawn whether it’s for a fine ornamental focal point or a tough pet and child resistant play area. Application rate: 35g per 1sqm.

500g covers approx. 14sqm.

1.5kg covers approx. 42sqm.

10kg covers approx. 280sqm.

20kg covers approx. 560sqm.

Sow & Grow

PREPARATION
• Remove all weeds, surface stones and debris.
• Dig or rotovate the soil to a depth of 15-22cm.
• Create a level, firm surface by close treading, heel to heel or by rolling the
whole area. Rake until the surface soil is fine and crumbly.
• If possible, leave the area to settle for a few weeks. Level any uneven areas and remove any weeds that appear.
• To give the lawn a good start a pre-sowing fertiliser can be raked in at the recommended rate. Seed should not be sown until 5-7 days after application.
SOWING
• The best time to sow is when the soil is warming up after a rain shower.
• Shake the box before sowing half the seed along the area and half the seed across the area to give even coverage.
• Sow the seed at a rate of 35g per square metre.
• Rake in the seed. If no rain falls within 1 week water thoroughly with a fine spray.
• The sown area should be kept moist until the seed is well established. Young grass will appear in 14-21 days.
• Weeds are likely to appear from the soil. These will be killed off with regular mowing.
LAWNCARE
• If the weather is dry keep the soil moist with regular watering using a fine spray.
• Keep off the lawn until the grass is 5-8cm high.
• Make the first cut at this stage just ʻtoppingʼ the grass. Subsequent cuts can gradually be lowered to an ideal height of 25mm.
• Mow regularly to maintain a healthy lawn (try not to remove more than one third of the height in any one mow).
• A good fertiliser should be applied at least once a year as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Rake off dead leaves in the autumn and winter.
