Kikuyu grass seeds grow quickly in warm climates and form a dense lawn that regenerates through stolons and rhizomes. This perennial grass tolerates heat, drought, moderate salinity, foot traffic, and wear. It is used in gardens, parks, sports grounds, coastal areas, and slopes, where it helps provide rapid ground cover and soil stabilization.
During the cold winter months, its growth slows and the lawn may temporarily turn yellow. It starts growing again as temperatures rise in spring. After sowing, water frequently and lightly until germination and establishment; thereafter, infrequent, deep watering is preferred. Regular mowing encourages density and helps limit its spread.
