Why Choose Kikuyu?
Kikuyu is often known as the ‘mower lover’s grass’ because of its extreme growth rate. This variety loves the Toowoomba region and doesn’t need much encouragement to spread across your lawn. However, it will need regular maintenance. Never deal with a sparse or patchy lawn again; here are a few more reasons to consider Kikuyu:
- Best winter colour of any warm season variety
- Dense growth pattern
- Thrives in sunny areas
- Extremely tough – withstands foot traffic, sports & pets
- Withstands cold temperatures
- Spreads quickly – grows upwards & outwards

FAQ
Does Kikuyu require different watering habits compared to slower-growing turf varieties?
Because Kikuyu grows rapidly, it generally needs more consistent moisture during the establishment phase than slower-spreading options. After it has established, it becomes more drought-tolerant due to its deep root structure, but prolonged dryness may still cause patchy colour or slower recovery in worn areas.
Deep, infrequent watering is typically more effective than light, frequent sessions, helping the roots grow downward rather than remaining shallow. Adjusting your watering routine seasonally can keep Kikuyu performing at its best without encouraging unnecessary overgrowth.
Can Kikuyu become invasive, and how can homeowners manage its spreading habit?
Kikuyu is naturally vigorous and may spread beyond its intended boundaries if not managed carefully. It can creep into garden beds, between pavers or under edging because of its strong stolons and rhizomes. Using clear physical barriers, maintaining defined edges, and trimming runners regularly can prevent the lawn from overtaking nearby areas.
For homeowners who prefer a structured, tidy landscape, setting up edging early and monitoring growth can make the turf easier to control while still benefiting from its strength and fast recovery.
How does Kikuyu respond to colder temperatures or seasonal changes?
Kikuyu often slows down and may lose some vibrancy during colder months, which is a normal reaction rather than a health issue. It may appear slightly straw-coloured during extended cool periods, but it usually bounces back quickly once warmer conditions return.
Fertilising lightly before the colder months and avoiding extremely low mowing can help it transition more smoothly. While its winter appearance may differ from its summer lushness, the turf’s ability to rebound makes seasonal changes manageable with simple care adjustments.
