Tasmania: Your Autumn Lawn Seed Guide
Tasmania's cooler climate makes autumn the perfect time to sow cool-season grasses. Forget warm-season varieties like Couch and Kikuyu – Ryegrasses and Fescues are your best bet! Choose the right seed and care for your lawn this season.
Choosing the Right Lawn Seed:
- Sun and Shade Blend
- Premium seed Blend
- Greenland Seed Blend
- All Winter Green Blend
- Defiant XRE Tall Fescue Blend
- Home Run LS Turf Perennial Ryegrass
For oversowing warm-season lawns in autumn
- Cool Cover Annual Ryegrass - Ideal for temporary cover and naturally fades out during spring and summer.
Sun and Shade Blend is designed to withstand limited sunlight. Perfect for under trees or where shade is an issue.
Fertilising for a Healthy Lawn:
Autumn is the ideal time to fertilise! A spreader makes fertilising much easier. For a healthy, vibrant lawn, fertilise at least four times a year.
Weed and Pest Control:
Protect your lawn from weeds and pests with appropriate herbicides and pre-emergent insecticides.
