Fast growing lawn for all locations
If you have to go particularly quickly, lawn experts have put together a special mix. With products such as the 'Captain Green Wunder-Rasen' or the 'GartenMeister Wunderrasen' you will be faced with a lush green lawn after just 3 weeks. This also applies to the new plant as well as to the reseeding of ornamental and practical lawns in sunny to partially shaded locations.
Fast-growing lawns also score points with their consistent displacement of moss and weeds, which cannot keep up with this pace and lose out. However, those who do not feel like mowing the lawn particularly frequently and the corresponding amount of clippings will look elsewhere.
Slow growing lawn impresses with premium quality
It undoubtedly takes plenty of time to grow, the slow-growing lawn challenges the gardener's patience. Those who do not let themselves be disturbed after sowing, will be rewarded with a dense sward and a rare need for mowing. The amount of clippings that has to be disposed of is correspondingly small. In addition, slow-growing lawns can withstand summer drought and need to be blown up less often.
If you are looking for suitable seed mixtures, you will find what you are looking for at 'Wolf-Garten Natural Lawn' or 'Eurogreen Landscape and Rough Mixture'. Slowly growing lawn branches more intensively, so that it can withstand extensive loads without developing bald spots.
Tips & Tricks
Do you know the secret ruler among the noble grasses? The Lägerrispe (pos supina) is difficult to beat in terms of step resistance, resilience and weather resistance. A high-quality type of lawn should contain at least 5-10 percent of this type of grass.
