Sowing Guide

Early Sowing/Module Sowing

Sow the seeds direct where the flowers are to grow.




Direct Sowing

In March to May sow the seeds direct in a well prepared seed bed where the decorative grass is to grow in rows 25 - 30 cm apart. The soil should have been worked to a fine tilth.
Cover the seeds with soil and water well.
Thin out the seedlings when large enough to handle to 25 - 30 cm apart.


Growing On

Water the young grass well until established.
A single top dressing of a general fertilizer will help to improve the performance of the grass.
Avoid over feeding the grass however as this may affect the quality of the flowers.
Once the plants are established they can tolerate dry conditions however in very dry conditions water well.

TIP

The briza thinning's can be planted elsewhere in the garden.
