Sunshade

Grass Type: 80% Kentucky Bluegrass, 20% Chewings fescue

Designed for those hard to grow areas, Sunshade Canberra Mix produces an older style fine lawn and is recommended for the shadier parts of the garden or for oversowing an existing lawn struggling under trees.

Prestige Green

Grass type: 80% Fine Rye-Grass, 20% Kentucky Bluegrass

Prestige Green is a fine textured lawn and may require a higher level of maintenance than Rough and Tumble or Hardy Green. It is ideally suited to a prestigious front lawn if given regular water and fertiliser. Prestige Green’s high quality has been instrumented in being used many Golf Courses including Royal Canberra and Moss Vale. This seed mix is the same as our Penturf blend of turf.

Rough and Tumble

Grass type: 71% Tall Fine Fescue, 24% Kentucky Bluegrass, 5% O’Connor’s Strawberry Clover

Rough & Tumble Alturf mix is the most popular mix for the Canberra and surrounding areas. Rough and Tumble is a hard wearing, drought and scarab resistant mix, well suited to back yards, ovals, playgrounds and commercial areas. The O’Connor’s Strawberry Clover discourages scarab grubs and provides a natural source of nitrogen for the other grasses. Tall Fescue is slightly courser than the other cool season grasses but is the most drought tolerant. This blend is the same as our Canberra Blend with clover blend of turf.

Hardy Green

Grass type: 75% Tall Fine Fescue, 25% Kentucky Bluegrass

Hardy Green is similar to Rough & Tumble but without the O’Connor’s Strawberry Clover in the mix.
This lawn is well suited to those areas where appearance is important but still requires a drought resistant, hardwearing lawn.
The Kentucky Bluegrass provides good colour as well as an ability to repair damaged areas by self propagating.
This blend is the same as our Canberra Blend turf mix.
