Similar to Tall Fescue

The King is a show lawn and is really only for the serious home lawner who is prepared to put the work in. If you aren't that keen or have crappy soil this is not the one for you. 60% Tall Fescue, 35% Fine Fescue, 5% Browntop. Its thick and carpet green and tough once established. It's really a show...

This one has been a family favourite over the years and is found in most garden centres. Its a standard Rye Grass/Fescue mix (80/20). Easy to grow and cheaper here than anywhere else. Might look patchy to start as the fescue will take a lot longer to germinate than the ryes. They'll catch up so be patient.

This is a medium bladed rye with a small amount of fine fescue included. Recommended for lifestyle blocks where it can persist well with little maintenance and is well priced because it goes further with less seed needed. Only downside is that it will grow fast all the time, so I hope you have a ride-on handy.

Superfine bladed turf grass unlike any of the others. Beautiful appearance. Its a combination of 2 fine fescues and we think its the toughest of the turf grasses - yes tougher than tall fescue. Sun or shade it doesn't care and can be cut real short or left real long. It's dark green if happy but can...

This mix of creeping red and chewings fescue is great for under the trees or in the shade as long as you fertilise regularly with slow release. Remember its the lack of nutrient that often kills the grass under trees - not the lack of sun. Fork the soil under trees to avoid compaction that often occurs there. Grass won't grow in compacted soil - can't breath. Full bird protection.

Fine leaved and blue green. Doesn't need regular watering when it's hot and will prosper in coastal or dry areas. Good for the holiday home and also makes a high quality domestic lawn. Over the winter months it will tend to go dormant and frosts will brown it off. Don't worry - it will come away aga...

A lovely dark green creeping grass that requires maintenance to keep looking good. It needs drier well aerated conditions to thrive and does not respond well to over-watering or compacted soils. It can be a beautiful lawn in the right conditions and with a lot of care. Only for those serious about their lawns - or their golf.

Barlibro RPR is a regenerating perennial ryegrass with a unique ability to repair itself from significant wear and heavy traffic. Recommended for hard wearing sports grounds, golf courses as well as the domestic lawn. What it means for the home lawner is a thicker tougher rye grass lawn than normal rye grasses can deliver. Up in a week and medium-green in colour.

This is a new line of turf perennial rye grass at Newton's. Its a very fine leafed variety similar to fine fescues in its appearance. Its feature other than having a finer leaf than other rye grasses is that its happy to be cut very short of left long. For those serious lawners with a reel mower thi...
