$25.00

The MayFord Kikuyu Lawn Seed produces a medium to coarse textured, creeping grass, known for its vigorous growth and hardy nature. While drought-resistant, Kikuyu grass becomes dormant (turns brown) in frost conditions. Best sown evenly in grooves and mixed with sand for optimal germination, it requires regular mowing and fertilization for a lush lawn. Seeds are hermetically sealed in foil to ensure freshness and high germination rates.

Category:

The MayFord Kikuyu Lawn Seed is a fast-spreading and low-maintenance turf grass, widely used for home gardens, sports fields, and erosion control. It is best sown evenly in grooves 2 cm deep, ensuring proper soil coverage and moisture retention.

 

Seedlings should be mixed with sand before sowing, with rolling or trampling recommended to encourage better soil contact. Pressing down the soil after sowing enhances germination, while avoiding puddles ensures healthy root establishment.

 

Mowing should be done at a cutting height of 2–3 cm, with fertilization at 30 g/m² applied four times a year. Superphosphate fertilizers improve root strength, while consistent watering promotes dense, green coverage
