About QLD Blue Couch:

Queensland Blue Couch is a soft, fine-leaf grass which has a blue-green colour and has been grown in Southeast Queensland yards for many years. It thrives in hot sunny conditions but is not suitable for shaded or high traffic areas. Queensland Blue Couch is low growing and does not thatch like some other varieties of grass. After extended periods of dry weather, it will recover quickly following watering or rainfall. With some regular maintenance, Qld Blue Couch will provide a lush attractive lawn.

Planting a Beautiful Lawn:

Ideal Sowing Time: Sow only when the soil temperature is consistently over 21 degrees. Sow from late September to late February.

Step 1: Loosen soil to a depth of 8cm. Work the top 2cm of soil to a fine smooth texture (a load of sandy-loam topsoil will help). On hard clay soils, apply some Gypsum.

Step 2: Check soil acidity – pH 6 to 7 is ideal. Adjust acid soils with some Lime.

Hand Hint After soil preparation, leave area for about 2 weeks, when weeds begin to germinate. Watering will help initiate germination of weeds. Then spray entire area with a glyphosate weedkiller. Once weeds have died off, go to next step. This helps create a weed-free lawn.

Step 3: Rake Lawn Planting Fertiliser into the soil. Spread Queensland Blue Couch Lawn Seed thinly and evenly at a rate of 10g per square metre. Rake lightly into the surface and firm down or tread seed into surface.

Step 4: Water with fine spray and keep damp until lawn is established. Lawns sown in late Spring or Summer need frequent watering during the first summer.

Step 5: Mow when grass is about 8cm high, removing only the top 3cm.

We now personally grow and test every batch of QLD blue couch seed we receive from our supplier, therefore we no longer refund or replace seed that does not grow.

Questions & Answers:

Q. Is there a use-by date on the Queensland blue couch lawn seed? I won’t be seeding until December (it’s now March)

A. We have been told by the supplier that this seed has a shelf life of over 2 years at least, so there is no problem with waiting a few months before planting.

Q. Can you please advise the most appropriate fertiliser for QLD Blue Couch grass?

A. We would recommend either Troforte Fert O Lawn or Grassmaster Lawn fertiliser as an excellent fertiliser for this type of lawn.

Q. Can you please advise how much QLD blue couch lawn seed I would require to oversow 250 square metres of established green/blue couch lawn.

A. If your current lawn has reasonable coverage I would suggest about 1kg of seed to cover 250 sq metres (from the supplier 26/8/14)

Q. Do you have a store or outlet in Brisbane?

A. We only have one store located in Sydney but we can freight quite economically all around Australia. Please call in advance before arriving in-store, as this item is usually kept at our warehouse and needs to be transferred over for pick up. Click here for our address details.

Q. Would QLD blue couch seed be suitable for my property that’s predominately sand with about 50% of which is lacking substantially in organic matter?

A. Yes, this grass seed is ideal for sandy soils and also requires near full sun and does not like shaded areas. See above for more information to be sure your area meets to all the conditions to grow well.

Q. What is the botanical name of this QLD Blue Couch Seed?

A. Currently, the seed we are stocking is called Digitaria Didactyla (8/7/17)

Q. Where is this seed produced?

A. This seed is produced in Queensland, Australia.

Q. I have an established green couch lawn, and was wondering if it’s possible to overseed with blue couch seed and have it dominate the green couch? If so, what rate would I go with for your blue couch seed?

A. I got this reply from our supplier ” Apparently, Qld Blue couch will dominate regular couch. But the sow rate comes down to how well the current couch is doing and I’ve been told your client would still have to sow quite heavy to make the qld blue dominate. Probably around the same rate as they suggest for bare dirt. Around 1kg per 100m2″
