Vintage Grass Seed

Vintage is our general-purpose lawn seed — a 100% American turf ryegrass mix that strikes quickly and establishes into a dense, fine, dark green lawn. It's the one most people want for a new lawn, an overseed, or patching where the lawn has thinned.

At a glance

• Composition: 100% American turf ryegrass seed mix
• Finish: Dark green, fine leaf, dense
• Mowing height: 25–50mm, mown regularly
• Position: Full sun — not suitable for shaded areas

Best suited to

• New lawns from bare soil in open, sunny positions
• Overseeding a tired or patchy existing lawn
• Repairing worn strips, pet damage and bare spots

Sowing

1. Rake the area to a fine, level seedbed and remove stones and debris.
2. Spread the seed in two passes at right angles for even cover.
3. Rake in lightly, then firm down.
4. Water gently and keep the surface damp through germination.

Vintage can be sown year round except the depths of winter.

Looking after it

A ryegrass lawn wants consistent watering through summer — a lawn wetter is worth using — and regular feeding to hold its colour and density.

Sizes

1kg for patches and small areas, 5kg for a full domestic lawn, 25kg for large lawns, lifestyle blocks and contract work.

Shaded areas? Vintage won't do well there — use Made For Shade instead.
