KEY FEATURES
Establishment
Once Sir Grange establishes a root system of 200mm or more it is extremely shade and drought tolerant. It requires good sand or sandy loam base of at least 100mm. In cooler climates like Victoria, a straight washed sand is recommended to assist in the quicker establishment, the more you have the better the lawn will perform.
It is a slow-growing lawn so it can take up to 18 weeks of warm season growing conditions to fully establish, however, once this is achieved the result is very rewarding.
Maintenance
Sir Grange grows quickly and has a high shade tolerance. It required little to no fertilizer or watering once it's fully established. Overall Sir Grange is a great option because,
- It requires up to 50% less mowing than other common turf varieties
- It can be mowed at a wide range of heights to suit your landscape design
- It requires 75% less nitrogen than other common turf varieties. In many cases will need little to no fertiliser at all.
If your established lawn appears dry or there are exceptional warm weather conditions, you only need to water it if necessary. Sir Grange can be mown at regular intervals at a height you desire between 10 and 50mm. Or you can even leave it unmown for landscaped areas of the garden, edges, or decorative slopes over rocks.
Fertilising
With Sir Grange, fertiliser use should be minimal; only fertilise if your lawn looks hungry and loses colour. If you fertilise, try to use a lawn blend with little to no nitrogen. Something with an NPK blend of 5-5-10, or at 25% of the label rate of standard lawn fertiliser. Wallington's WRG recommends Lawn Solutions Premium Lawn Food Fertiliser as it has a low nitrogen blend and was purposely created to be used with lawns such as Sir Grange, Tif Tuf and Sir Walter.
