LM Grass
LM grass is indigenous to South Africa. It is found predominantly in Natal and Mozambique. It thrives very well in shady and semi-shady conditions. LM grass performs well in full sun areas. This grass has a creeping organic nature but is far less invasive than Kikuyu grass.
LM grass is relatively heat receptive and can recover from drought and heat stress by means of its creeping organic nature.
LM grass is well suited for office parks, home lawns, shade areas and rough areas on golf courses. It should not be cut shorter than 30mm in full sun areas and 50mm in full shade areas. In frosty places, the grass should not be cut during winter as It avoids cold damage by exposing the upper leave growth to frost.
LM has a slow-growing nature,
which means less mowing.
