Description
Extremely durable and drought tolerant rapid summer growth
Whittet kikuyu is a spring/summer/autumn growing grass suitable for lawns, sporting fields, fairways, erosion control, dam walls and banks. Whittet shows rapid summer growth, good drought tolerance, supression of undersirable weeds and is very responsive to nitrogen fertiliser. Implementing good cultural practices such as grooming and the use of growth regulators during the summer months (when not under stress) will create a finer denser playing surface. For unirrigated areas, the minimum average rainfall required is 800 mm in order for Whittet to thrive.
- Productive under heavy grazing
- Responds well to good fertility
- Very competitive against weeds
- Very persistent perennial
- Coated seed what protects each seedling during the vulnerable establishment stage
Soil type: Moderately drained loams to clay
Mowing heights are recommended at 25-50mm. Frequent mowing will keep thatch build-up to a reasonable level. It is essential for best results to maintain adequate moisture in the seed bed
Due to quarantine restrictions, we do not ship seeds to Western Australia or Tasmania

I have used this seller in the past, and very happy with their grass seed product, our laws are beautiful thanks to them, however at the moment we are in the process of growing another lawn section, and we intend to keep dealing with them. Thank you for a fine product.
United StatesGreat product and company!
I purchased the kikuyu seed to grow at my home in Southern California since my local supplier was sold out of sod. It was a great decision, Pet and Farm had fast shipping and quickly resolved an issue from product damaged during transit. The kikuyu started germinating with 5 days and on its way to a beautiful lawn. Highly recommended!
United StatesGreat experience
I am a U.S. customer, and was so glad I found Pet and Farm for my Kikuyu seed purchase. Their customer service is excellent. There was an issue with delivery and they immediately resolved it. Will use again and highly recommend!
