All grass varieties used in Johnsons mixtures are premium amenity quality, chosen for their proven performance in UK lawns. While specific cultivars (individual named strains within a species) may occasionally vary depending on seed availability from season to season, we will only substitute cultivars with others that offer the same high level of performance.
Tetraploid perennial ryegrass represents a significant advancement in amenity turf breeding, offering enhanced stress tolerance, rapid establishment, and exceptional resilience. Developed through selective breeding programmes such as those pioneered by DLF, tetraploid cultivars carry double the chromosome number of traditional diploid ryegrasses, resulting in a range of performance benefits ideally suited to modern lawn and landscape demands.
Tetraploid perennial ryegrasses are used selectively within Johnsons Lawn Seed mixtures to:
Improve durability and recovery rate
Enhance drought and wear tolerance
Support rapid establishment in new lawns and overseeding applications
Maintain consistent turf quality under variable conditions
These cultivars are fully amenity-grade and subject to rigorous quality assessment by the STRI.
SeedBooster® is an innovative two in one seed coating developed for the professional turf market.
An innovative two in one seed coating developed for the professional turf market. Each seed is wrapped in its own parcel of fast and slow release fertiliser, the seed germinates sooner and establishes faster resulting in up to 30% more grass and a denser law than by sowing seed and fertiliser separately. This makes it particularly effective when used on slower to establish finer grasses, such as those in Shady Place and Luxury Lawn and for improving existing lawns with Johnsons Lawn Thickener. An added benefit is that the coating also acts as a harmless deterrent to birds.
Suitable for both new and existing lawns, including high traffic and pet-friendly areas.
Apply between March & October, when soil is warm above 10°C and grass is actively growing. For best results, apply straight after mowing and remove clippings to ensure excellent seed-to-soil contact.
Use a rate of 35g per m2 fo a new lawn and 20g per m2 for overseeding an existing lawn.
Handy guide: one average handful is approx 32g
