Winter Green is a fine-leafed couch lawn visually similar to Windsor Green. It has an emerald green colour and is the most popular domestic and commercial lawn variety specifically bred for Australian conditions. It is used on everything from bowling greens and parks to roadside verges and the home garden.
It provides a dense cover that handles heavy traffic with a medium maintenance regime. Winter Green is the most drought-tolerant lawn due to its fine leaf and deep root system.
A minimum of 4 hours of direct sunlight is required for adequate growth.
Winter Green grass is a couch with a beautiful fine leaf and a deep root system. It thrives in the summer heat here in WA and is very hardy for foot traffic, sports and ideal for pets. It is a popular choice of lawn because of its’ durability and performance, without the need for lots of water. It is very dormant during Winter
Winter Green grass looks spectacular when maintained correctly. The main benefit above other varieties is its’ performance with minimal water, fertiliser and maintenance.
The best time to install Winter Green grass is when the ground temperature is warm which assists the turf to establish a root system quickly. So here in Perth, WA during Spring, Summer or Autumn is best, although it will establish over Winter if you want to make use of the free rainfall, if you don’t mind waiting a little longer for the turf to establish.
During the hotter months Winter Green grass would establish in three weeks, and would be ready for its’ first light mow. If planted in Winter, it would take up to 8 weeks to establish. It is entirely weather dependant, so the cooler the ground temperature, the longer the turf will take to establish. Having good soil that retains water is key to the performance of any lawn, which you can do by incorporating compost, manures, clay, blood and bone, soil wetters. A good reticulation system where the water sprays cross each other so no areas miss out on water is also very important!
To establish Winter Green couch grass, it is recommended to apply 10ml three times per day (preferably 6am, 10am and 2pm). It is not recommended to water the turf when there is no evaporation, so the last water should be done at the hottest time of the day. In WA, it is also recommended to use Soil Wetters as part of your watering regime to assist with water absorbtion and retention. In Winter, if there is frost, it is recommended to water the turf in the morning to prevent leaf burn, but here in WA frost is minimal and there is generally sufficient rainfall to keep the plant happy during its’ dormancy.
