Why Choose LM Grass?

  • šŸŒæ Versatile Growth Conditions: LM Grass excels in shade, semi-shade, or full sun, accommodating various garden layouts.

  • šŸŒ”ļø Heat Tolerance: This grass is notably heat tolerant, able to recover from low watering and heat stress through its creeping growth habit, ensuring a lush lawn even in challenging conditions.

Optimal Growing Conditions:

  • Sowing Time: Can be sown any time of year, making it a flexible choice for lawn planning.

  • Sow Depth: Seeds should be planted at a depth of 3mm, shallow enough to ensure light penetration and germination success.

  • Spacing: While individual seeds do not require spacing, general coverage recommendations are 300g per 100 mĀ², ensuring even growth across large areas.

Garden Uses and Benefits:

  • Residential Lawns: With its adaptable nature, LM Grass is ideal for home gardens where varying light conditions may pose a challenge for other grass types.

  • Commercial Landscapes: Its robust nature makes it suitable for commercial properties looking for a low-maintenance, attractive lawn solution.

Cultivation Tips:

  • Mowing: Regular mowing encourages a denser growth habit and prevents any one area from becoming too dominant.
