HOMERUN Lateral Spread FAQs

  1. When is the best time for sowing Home Run Perennial Ryegrass seed?

Ideally sow in Spring and Autumn when temperatures are moderate, though it’s possible to sow year round in most Australian locations.  Germination will be slow in locations with very cold winters due to low soil temperatures.  Check our ‘Can I sow this in my Location?’ for specific times and tips.  

  1. How long until I see results?

In Optimal Conditions you may see germination in 7 -10 days. Note: When sowing out of season this can take longer. 

  1. Will this stay green all year round?

Yes, however it will require additional irrigation in summer.  We recommend deep watering 2-3 times a week.  Depending on the severity of the summer heat and if water is unavailable during summer months this is challenging.  When irrigation is recommenced and temperatures drop this blend will usually recover well.
