• It has a medium coarse texture and it is a lighter shade of green than most lawns.
• LM must not be mowed too short as is a surface runner.
• It is well suited to shady areas and it can be grown in full sun as well.
• LM is a low maintenance lawn that has excellent tolerance of drought and heat.
• It is adaptable to a wide variety of soil conditions and has moderate traffic tolerance.
• It can be planted to stabilise sand both inland and at the coast.
• LM grass is palatable and can be utilised by animals, although it is not very leafy.
• When planted, the seedlings can be spaced from 15 – 25cm apart.
• The closer they are spaced the quicker it will grow into a dense lawn.
