What Our Clients Say

Caring for Wintergreen Couch

Just a little bit of work is all that’s needed to keep Wintergreen Couch grass looking its best.


Because this variety has runners above and below ground, it spreads across paths and garden beds, which means more frequent mowing is required. To keep it in its best condition, annual dethatching to remove organic matter that hasn’t broken down is recommended.


Dethatching should be conducted in late spring to give Wintergreen Couch time to recover over summer. This can be done by mowing low, using a lawn rake or a specialist verticutter for large or neglected lawns.


Apply fertiliser regularly throughout the year for the best results.

  • What is Wintergreen Couch best suited for?

    Wintergreen Couch is a great pick if you want a tidy, manicured lawn finish. It suits domestic yards as well as sports fields and playgrounds because it handles wear well. This grass loves full sun, so it performs best in open areas with plenty of light. With basic ongoing care, it rewards you with a dense, attractive surface.

  • How does Wintergreen Couch grow and spread?

    Wintergreen Couch has both aboveground and underground runners, which helps it spread quickly. This growth habit lets it repair itself well after foot traffic or minor damage. It also makes the turf naturally competitive against weeds when it is healthy. Once established, it forms a fine-bladed, even lawn that looks well-kept.

  • Is Wintergreen Couch drought and weed resistant?

    Yes, Wintergreen Couch is known for being drought-hardy and resilient in sunny Australian conditions. Its runner system supports strong coverage and helps it bounce back after dry periods. When you mow regularly and water sensibly during establishment, it stays thick and limits weed intrusion.
