Ultra Resistant Lawn 5kg including 1kg free

Vilmorin Ultra Resistant Lawn 5kg + 1kg free (Reference: 4462435) represents the professional reference solution for all those who wish to create a robust and long-lasting lawn. This exclusive Vilmorin formulation combines over a century of expertise in seed selection with modern requirements for durability and resistance. Specially designed for spaces subject to intensive use, this blend guarantees a dense, green and vibrant lawn even in the most demanding conditions.

Benefits and use cases

This ultra resistant lawn is perfectly suited to active family gardens where children and pets play daily. Play areas benefit from its exceptional ability to withstand repeated foot traffic without forming unsightly bare patches. For public spaces and amateur sports fields, this formulation offers an economical alternative to specialist turf while maintaining remarkable performance.

Pool owners will appreciate its tolerance to chlorinated splashes and its ability to withstand humidity variations. In dry regions or during heatwaves, this blend maintains its vitality thanks to its varieties selected for drought resistance, considerably reducing watering needs.

Technical specifications and innovation

The strength of this ultra resistant lawn lies in its carefully balanced multi-criteria composition. Ryegrass provides rapid germination and excellent wear resistance, ideal for quickly achieving a dense green carpet. Meadow Bluegrass ensures longevity and self-repair capability thanks to its rhizomes. Tall and Red Fescues form the resistance backbone, withstanding the most severe environmental stresses.

This varietal synergy produces a lawn that combines fast establishment, optimal density and exceptional longevity. The Vilmorin selection favours varieties with a deep root system, improving anchorage and resistance to water stress. Disease and pest tolerance is enhanced by the genetic diversity of the blend, limiting the risk of pathological spread.

Installation and use

Soil preparation is the fundamental step to ensure the success of your lawn. Carefully remove stones, roots and weeds, then loosen the soil to a depth of 15-20 cm. Precise levelling prevents water pooling and ensures uniform germination. Incorporating an organic amendment improves soil structure and promotes rooting.

For optimal sowing, allow approximately 30-40g per square metre for new lawns, 20-25g for overseeding. Spread the seeds in two cross passes to ensure even distribution. A light post-sowing raking promotes seed-to-soil contact, followed by gentle firming with an inverted rake. Initial watering should be regular but moderate, keeping the soil moist without waterlogging for 2-3 weeks.

The first mowing takes place when the blades reach 8-10 cm, cutting only the top third. Thereafter, a cutting height of 4-6 cm optimises stress resistance while maintaining an attractive appearance.

Tips, synergies and expert advice

To maximise the resistance of your lawn, combine sowing with a phosphorus-rich starter fertiliser that promotes root development. An application of granular organic fertiliser in spring and autumn maintains vigour without scorching. Installing an automated irrigation system with a timer optimises water management, particularly beneficial for this type of resistant lawn.

In heavily trafficked areas, periodically alternate foot traffic patterns to allow natural regeneration. Optimal sowing periods are spring (March-May) and autumn (September-October), avoiding climatic extremes. During summer, favour higher and less frequent mowing to preserve soil moisture.

Absolutely avoid sowing on frozen, waterlogged or very windy soil. Competition between species can be managed through balanced NPK fertilisation adapted to the specific needs of each season. For beginner gardeners, this tolerant blend forgives minor maintenance errors while delivering professional results.
