The Best Couch Turf in the Sun
For an Australian environment, the Wintergreen is a go-to. If you’re in Sunshine Coast, like we are, this is the perfect low cost grass for a sunny environment as it has good drought resistance and repairs quickly. In fact, this couch turf requires full sun to survive and will die off with more than three hours of shade. This variety of grass has a fine textured leaf, which means that it needs direct sunlight for most hours of the day. This will allow the small, individual leaves to be able to absorb the sunlight necessary for photosynthesis.
How to Best Mow wintergreen Couch Lawns
Because of the turf’s fine leaf blade, the best lawn mower to use on it would be the cylinder mower. Especially when the lawn is at its healthiest, mowing it with a cylinder mower creates that flat “bowling green” finish that looks so lovely on home lawns.
A Strong and Resistant Lawn
This lawn can handle and stay strong against any effect that children playing or animals roaming might have on it. It grows so quickly, in fact nearly at twice the speed of other grasses, so you won’t feel the need to sit on your porch and yell at kids or dogs to get off your lawn. Whatever gets torn up can easily be replaced.
Wintergreen is fairly tolerable to most diseases. In addition, it doesn’t have many known or serious side effects to any commonly used herbicides, so spray the weeds away without worry.
