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.

 

Amenity Tetraploid Perennial Ryegrass

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.

 

 

 

 

 

Accelerator® Seed Treatment

Accelerator® treated seed offers three key benefits: rapid germination, faster lawn establishment, and requires just a third of the amount of water that’s usuallyneeded for lawn establishment.


The result is a strong, thick and healthy lawn - even in cold or wet conditions. The unique Accelerator® treatment contains a wetting agent that speeds-up the absorption of water by helping it to penetrate the waxy surface of a grass seed faster, spurring it into growth. The clever technology rapidly directs a carefully formulated blend of biostimulants in the seed coating - including seaweed extract, humic acids, amino acids, micronutrients and root developers - into the seed. Not only does this get lawns off to a flying start, but it delivers 38% more grass within the first seven days, compared to non-coated seed. Once the lawn has established, growth returns to a normal level for domestic grass.

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. 

 

How much to use

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

Lawn after care

  • Immediately after sowing: Water throughly to settle the seed into the soil
  • During the first 2 weeks: Keep the area consistently moist to support strong germination and avoid heavy traffic while grass establishes (this includes pets)
  • Weeks 1 to 2: Once the grass reaches around 5-8cm, you can mow for the first time. Keep the mower blades high for early cuts.
  • Weeks 3 to 4: Gradully return to your normal mowing height and routine as the grass strengthens.
  • Ongoing: Reapply or overseed worn areas seasonally, this is to maintain lawn thickeness.
