WINTERGREEN (CYNODON DACTYLON CV. WINTERGREEN)

Wintergreen is a fine leafed, semi-dwarf, improved version of common couch. In areas that receive full sun, this variety is a great all-rounder. It’s deep root system and rhizomes allow very rapid recovery from wear, scalping or mistreatment. As the name suggests, colour retention in the cooler months is excellent. Frost will cause some yellowing off but this is only superficial and recovery is very rapid. With regular mowing and fertilising it will retain a dark green colour and medium textured appearance. Wintergreen is very forgiving and will present reasonably well even if maintenance is neglected. It is ideal for most situations including household lawns, playing fields, golf tees, parklands, tennis courts, roadsides and general landscaping.
