Summer soirées need that emerald-green
star of the show to be at its best. And if
it’s looking a bit raggedy and needs a bit of a
lift, now is the time to tend to it.
TYPES OF SEED
Don’t try and be the expert at everything.
Ask the experts or your landscaper to help
you select the appropriate seed for you.
You can tell a lot from the names of the
seed mixes. ‘Survivor’ is obviously really
tough. ’Stadium Blend’ is going to work for
you if you want to put up some goalposts
and be a Richie McCaw or Cristiano
Ronaldo in front of the kids. Fescue grass is
tolerant of both drought and heat. It’s hardwearing,
so it’s a popular choice. Ryegrass
seed is often included in mixed lawn seed:
this grass is tough, but it’s not for people
who want a lawn that looks smooth.
