A Warm season variety that likes winter

No other warm season turf variety has such high winter activity like Village Green.

Whilst couch goes into dormancy over winter and common kikuyu slows down, Village Green is actively growing. This active growth during winter makes it an ideal turf variety for winter sports such as AFL, rugby, soccer or horse racing.

Even under frosty conditions Village Green sends down roots and keeps repairing itself.

No more expensive over-seeding with ryegrass or accepting brown as being normal during winter.

Don’t let the name “warm season” fool you, when it comes to Village Green the warm becomes “cool” during winter.

Green without the guilt

Village Green has a massive root system, it is measured to have 50% more roots per volume of soil than common Kikuyu. This gives it an exceptional ability to stay green even under low water and fertiliser environments.

Because of Village Green’s high winter activity you can establish turf in winter when there is plenty of moisture in the soil, now you can plant during winter and save water.

In most cases around Australia this means that you will need very little irrigation. Other warm season grasses need to be established in the spring when more water is required.

Facing an ever drying climate Village Green is the safer choice.

Has the weeds and wear covered

The success of Village Green has all to do with the science, we have focused on features that ultimately deliver high performance sports fields and public open space. These features include:

• Thick stolons that store carbohydrates to feed new shoots that are continually being developed under high wear.
• Short internodes that produce more shoots per square meter of turf, delivering a fine/dense cover that smoothers weeds and cushions impact.
• Thick rhizomes that give strength and ability to recover from drought and very heavy wear

Village Green has been developed using scientific principles – principles you can trust.

Sterility limits the spread

Village Green is male sterile – this means it doesn’t produce male flowers or seed. Gone is the unsightly carpet of white seed heads often seen across a field of common kikuyu and gone is the risk of spread into garden beds.

Weeds including seed from common kikuyu don’t have a chance to establish in Village Green’s dense cover.
