Eureka Kikuyu PBR: Low-Budget Lawn Solution in Australia
If you’re looking for cost-effective grass for large lawns, StrathAyr recommends Australia’s favourite tight-budget variety, tried-and-tested Kikuyu turf. With an excellent track record of thriving in Australian conditions, Kikuyu grass requires warm conditions and full sunlight to help it grow rapidly and establish deep roots even after significant wear and tear.
What is Eureka Kikuyu Grass?
Eureka Kikuyu is a popular solution for planting in large areas because it grows faster than most other turf varieties. It has a coarse, durable texture and requires moderate water usage. Unlike several other grass varieties, Kikuyu turf grows vigorously through stolons and rhizomes, which can become quite invasive to garden beds if not tightly controlled and maintained. These stolons and rhizomes allow this grass to grow rapidly and withstand waterlogged soil and harsh sunlight.

Eureka Kikuyu PBR Lawn Maintenance
Watering
Kikuyu grass is at its best when watered for 1 hour, once a week. This technique allows it to establish deep roots and handle drought and frost.
Fertilising
Kikuyu grass should be fertilised at the change of every season, particularly in September and April. We recommend premium fertilisers that gradually release nutrients into the soil.
Mowing
Mow Kikuyu turf once every four to seven days for thick growth and overall health. In general, Kikuyu grass benefits from a mower blade height of 20-50mm.
