Brunnings Kikuyu Lawn Seed Blend 1kg – Fast-Growing, Drought-Tolerant Turf

Fast-Growing, Drought-Tolerant Kikuyu Lawn Seed for Hot Aussie Gardens

Brunnings Kikuyu Lawn Seed Blend is a hard-wearing grass seed mix built for hot, sunny Australian conditions, giving you a dense, deep green lawn that stands up to heat, drought and heavy foot traffic. It is a water-saving blend, so once established the lawn needs less watering and less maintenance than many other turf types. This 1kg box sows up to 100 square metres.

Kikuyu is naturally tough and vigorous, which makes it a popular choice for family backyards, high-traffic areas and gardens in full sun. The seed in this blend is treated with Brunnings Turbocote coating and includes a nursery cover to help protect the seed and get it growing faster, so you get quicker, more reliable establishment and good coverage across bare or worn areas.

It suits new lawns, repairing worn patches and overseeding existing lawns to thicken them up. The result is a lush, low-maintenance lawn that handles the Australian climate and everyday backyard life.

How to Use

Prepare the area first by clearing weeds and debris and raking the soil to a fine, level surface. Spread the seed evenly over the area at the rate shown on the box, then lightly rake it in so it makes good contact with the soil. Water gently and keep the surface consistently moist while the seed establishes, taking care not to let it dry out. Sow in the warmer months when soil temperatures are up, as Kikuyu is a warm-season grass that establishes best in the heat.
