Silver - 5kg lawn seed
For ornamental areas.
The Silver seeds from the Green Up line by Herbatech are a mixture of fine-leaved red fescues, English ryegrass and poe, for the creation of ornamental carpets and flower beds.
They germinate and close quickly, creating a fine, homogeneous and dense turf, typical of English lawns. With Silver it will be easy to have a beautiful emerald green lawn,
Silver seeds prefer a sunny climate but also tolerate moderate shade.
The 5 kilogram bag allows you to sow up to approximately 250 square meters of surface area.
Germination occurs 5-8 days after sowing. It can be sown from February to mid-November.

Ground | Deep, draining, medium-textured, but also clayey and/or loose, with a pH that can range from alkalinity to sub-acidity. |
Sowing period | From February to October (skipping the months of maximum summer heat). The mixture takes 4 to 10 days to germinate depending on the soil temperature (soil temperature above 12°C). |
Recommended dosage | 20-30 g/m2. The maximum doses are recommended in case of late sowing and/or imperfect tillage of the seed bed. |
Cut | Carry out the first cut when the carpet has reached 6 cm and immediately bring it to 4 cm, so that it does not jeopardize the germination of Poa pratensis. Never remove more than 30% of the vegetation present. Do not go below 40 mm. With mowing management above 60 mm, the carpet becomes coarser, with a more pronounced leaf texture. For cutting heights below 35 mm the use of helical machines is recommended. |
Nutrition | Phosphate fertilization at sowing and then managing the carpet at maturity with 25 units of nitrogen m2/year, choosing specific fertilizers for lawns (programmed release nitrogen). Intervene with at least 4 annual fertilizations. |
Irrigation | When planting, keep the seedbed constantly moist so as not to stop the germination process. In the summer period, irrigate with 10 mm every 2-3 days, taking care not to overwater so as not to encourage seasonal diseases. In case of shade from conifers (pines, firs, etc.) double the wetting times in the hottest periods. |
Phytostimulation | Plan at least 2 biostimulant treatments between July and August to increase tolerance to heat and foot traffic. |
Regeneration | Use the same mixture or Royal Park for the regeneration at the end of summer and/or exit from winter, carrying out a light verticut with the removal of the thatch and subsequent distribution of approximately 40-50 g/m2 of Royal Blue or Royal Park to thicken the vegetation. Then fertilize with Biostart P 12.20.15 according to the label instructions. |
