Garden type
Grass seed mixture suitable for residential gardens that must withstand wear and tear from children and animals. Also suitable for other green areas such as parks where there is high wear and tear. Copes with both sunny and shady areas.
Care
English ryegrass and meadow grass require more fertilization and irrigation than other mixtures. For a successful grass establishment, basic fertilization is very important. For sandy soil, we recommend NPK 11-5-18, 10 kg/100 sq m and for topsoil 5 kg/100 sq m. After the grass is established, you should fertilize at least 3 times/year with e.g. NPK 20-3-9 or NPK 15-2-5 +10Fe. Irrigation is also very important, we recommend approx. 30 min/watering point, 2 – 3 times/day. Water the first 8 days after sowing.
Climate
English ryegrass has a poorer ability to survive the winter compared to e.g. red fescue and meadow grass, especially in northern Sweden.
Contents & properties
70% Red fescue (Festuca rubra)
One of the most important grass species for lawn establishment. For lawns, red fescue varieties are used, developed to achieve, among other things, a lower height growth. Red fescue tolerates both sun, heat, cold and drought well and thus thrives well throughout Sweden. Of the 70%, the majority is tightly tufted red fescue, which provides extremely good winter hardiness and the highest shoot density (780 shoots/dm2). A small amount of red fescue with short spurs is in the mix to keep the grass green longer in drought and to provide a good healing ability.
20% English ryegrass (Lolium perenne L)
Has the fastest establishment and grows like a tuft at the bottom, which does not produce flowers. From the tuft grow straws that are up to 35-60 cm high. Of the 20%, the greater part are diploid varieties that increase wear tolerance in the grass and a small part are tetraploid varieties that provide good winter hardiness, an earlier start of spring and an increased chlorophyll content.
10% meadow grass (Poa pratensis).
A very common species of grass when planting lawns. Has the best wear properties, good winter hardiness and high tolerance to diseases. Has a growth habit with underground shoots. Requires good access to nutrition and water.
