Our best Warm Season Lawn Grasses to Plant this Summer

Warm season grasses are summer hardy and are grown when soil temperatures are higher.  They are tough and more able to be mowed lower.  The most commonly known varieties include couch grass, kikuyu, and zoysia grass.

If you're looking to grow grass seed at this time of year, most Australians need to sow Warm Season Grasses*.

Couch Grasses:

  • Couch grass loves the sun making it drought tolerant
  • copes well with traffic
  • clever breeding means it's got a fine blade with good green colour.
  • Needs heat to grow meaning it's not suitable in certain areas and time of year to grow.
