Cynodon Dactylon, widely known as Kweek or Couch Grass, is a hardy, perennial grass species popular for its adaptability, low maintenance, and resilience. This grass is a top choice for lawns, pastures, and erosion control, thanks to its dense growth and tolerance to high foot traffic. With a vigorous spreading ability, it provides excellent ground coverage, helping to maintain soil integrity in various environments, including high-stress and semi-arid areas.

Key Features:

  • Durable & Resilient: Highly tolerant of drought, heat, and heavy use, making it suitable for high-traffic areas like lawns and sports fields.
  • Excellent Ground Cover: Forms a dense, mat-like coverage that effectively prevents soil erosion and minimises weed growth.
  • Fast-Growing: Known for its rapid spreading through runners, quickly establishing itself and covering large areas.
  • Low Maintenance: Requires minimal water and fertiliser once established, reducing the need for frequent upkeep.
  • Enhanced Soil Health: Contributes to soil stability and organic matter, helping to improve soil structure and retain moisture.

 

Ideal for both functional and aesthetic landscaping, Cynodon Dactylon is a versatile choice for anyone seeking a durable and sustainable grass solution.
