Our seed mixes all include vermiculite, a commonly used product in the horticultural sector in its exfoliated form. There are a few reasons we mix our seeds with vermiculite:
- Native grasses come in all shapes and sizes which generally makes them harder to mix and distribute evenly. Vermiculite is a proven method for creating consistent mix that is substantially easier to sow. It is also ideal for the germination of seeds because its water holding capacity makes it a excellent medium for direct contact with the seeds, creating a humid micro climate around the emerging seedlings preventing scorching or drying out.
- It is also a great soil improver due to its aeration properties. This increases your soil structure and gives your seedlings a helping hand to have good root growth and its exchange properties can absorb excess nutrients and release them slowly to the plants via the finest root hair.
Our Great Southern Lawn mix is a blend with three of our most renowned lawn varieties, Griffin™ Weeping grass,, Oxley Wallaby grass and Clustered Wallaby grass. These grasses grow to around 15cm in height, keeping mowing requirements to a minimum. Found commonly in our great southern states, both grasses are perfect for any Australian temperate climate that face both the extreme frosts of winter or the scorching heat of summer. This blend is suitable for NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, ACT and the southern parts of WA and Queensland.
GRASSES IN THE MIX:
Griffin Weeping Grass - (Microlaena stipoides)
