Are you dreaming of a lush, green lawn that makes your garden the envy of the neighbourhood? At Indigo Nursery in Midrand, we have just what you need to transform that dream into reality. We have different types of grass trays and seed mixes for your lawn to suit your garden preferences and help it grow beautifully.
At Indigo Nursery, we know every lawn is different. That’s why we have different types of grass to match different conditions.
Kikuyu Grass:
Kikuyu is a popular choice for South African lawns because of its resilience and fast-growing nature. Ideal for sunny areas and can withstand heavy foot traffic. Perfect for families with children and pets. Kikuyu establishes quickly, providing a vibrant green cover that enhances any garden.
Berea Grass:
Also known as LM grass, Berea is another excellent option for your lawn. This grass is highly versatile, thriving in both sun and shade, although it prefers semi-shaded areas. Berea grass has a softer texture compared to Kikuyu and is well-suited for ornamental lawns and gardens. Its slower growth rate means less frequent mowing, giving you more time to enjoy your beautiful lawn.
Shade Over Grass:
For those tricky shaded spots in your garden where other grasses struggle to grow, Shade Over grass is the solution.
Mondo Grass
Also known as dwarf lilyturf, is a versatile, evergreen ground cover that brings elegance to any garden.
Mondo grass has slender, arching dark green leaves and is easy to care for. It’s great for borders, filling gaps, or adding texture to shady spots.
This hardy plant thrives in both sun and shade, tolerating a variety of soil conditions. It produces small, delicate white or lilac flowers in summer, followed by attractive blue-black berries.
Ideal for both formal and informal gardens, mondo grass is a durable, attractive choice for enhancing your landscape.
Wonder Lawn
is a popular choice for South African gardeners seeking a lush, green lawn. Wonder Lawn is a mix of grasses that grow well in different conditions, creating a strong and nice-looking lawn with little work.
Here’s what makes Wonder Lawn a great option:
- Durability: Wonder Lawn is formulated to withstand heavy foot traffic, making it perfect for families with kids and pets. It’s hardy and resilient, bouncing back quickly from wear and tear.

Fertilizers to Nourish Your Lawn
To keep your lawn looking its best, it’s essential to provide the right nutrients. At Indigo Nursery, we stock a range of South African fertilizer brands that are perfect for your lawn care needs.
General Fertiliser 2:3:2:
This balanced fertilizer is ideal for establishing new lawns and promoting vigorous growth. It has the right balance of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to help your grass grow strong roots and lush foliage.
Wonder Lawn Fertilizer:
Wonder Lawn Fertilizer has lots of nitrogen, which keep your lawn green and healthy. Nitrogen is crucial for leaf growth, and this fertilizer keeps your lawn looking lush and healthy throughout the growing season.
Organic Pellet Fertiliser:
Fertilising your lawn with organic pellet fertiliser is essential for maintaining lush, green grass. In South Africa, popular brands such as Atlantic Fertilisers offer high-quality options that cater to the specific needs of local lawns. These fertilisers provide a balanced mix of nutrients that promote healthy root development, robust growth, and vibrant color.
Applying fertiliser according to the recommended guidelines ensures your grass gets the right nutrients at the right time, enhancing its resilience against pests, diseases, and environmental stress.
Regular fertilisation keeps your lawn looking its best year-round.
The Best Time to Plant Your Lawn
Timing is crucial when it comes to planting lawn grass. For the best results, consider the type of grass and the local climate conditions.
Spring and Early Summer: This is the ideal time to plant warm-season variants like Kikuyu. As temperatures rise, these lawns thrive, establishing quickly and covering your lawn in a lush green carpet.
Autumn: Autumn is perfect for planting cool-season variants such as Berea. The cooler weather and more rain help the grass grow strong roots before winter, so your lawn will be healthy in the spring.
