Ultra Resistant Grass Box of 1 kg

Vilmorin Ultra Resistant Grass 1kg (Reference: 4462414) represents excellence in high-performance grass seed. Designed by Vilmorin, European leader in seeds since 1743, this premium blend meets the strictest requirements of homeowners and professionals seeking an exceptional lawn capable of withstanding the most severe conditions.

Benefits and Applications

This ultra resistant grass excels in all environments where resilience takes priority over classic aesthetics. Children's play areas, picnic areas, amateur sports grounds, school yards and public spaces fully benefit from its exceptional properties. Family gardens that are intensively used, particularly those regularly hosting barbecues, parties and outdoor activities, find in this formulation the ideal solution to maintain a dense and lush lawn despite repeated use.

Landscape professionals particularly appreciate its ability to reduce maintenance interventions while guaranteeing a satisfactory visual result over time. This robustness translates into substantial savings on renovation and overseeding costs, a decisive factor for public and private green space managers.

Technical Composition and Varietal Innovations

The formulation of this grass results from a synergistic blend of four complementary grass varieties. Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perenne) provides rapid germination and excellent wear resistance thanks to its dense root system. Smooth Meadow-grass (Poa pratensis) contributes to the longevity of the cover through its underground rhizomes that naturally repair damaged areas.

Tall Fescue (Festuca arundinacea) forms the backbone of this formulation thanks to its deep roots that draw moisture from depth, conferring exceptional drought resistance. Red Fescue (Festuca rubra) completes the blend by improving the fineness of the grass and its tolerance to partial shade.

This varietal synergy produces a lawn that retains its intense green colour even under moderate water stress, while developing a deep and branched root structure guaranteeing optimal anchorage and nutrition of the lawn.

Seeding and Establishment Techniques

The success of your ultra resistant lawn depends on meticulous ground preparation. Work the soil to a depth of 15-20 cm, removing stones, roots and perennial weeds. A pass with a rotavator followed by raking produces a fine and aerated soil, an essential condition for uniform germination.

Levelling is of paramount importance: use a fine-toothed rake to create a perfectly flat surface, thus avoiding areas of water pooling or premature drying. Light rolling with a roller (50-60 kg maximum) stabilises the seedbed without compromising aeration.

Sow at a rate of 25-30 grams per square metre depending on intended use: 25g/m² for less heavily used areas, 30g/m² for high-traffic sectors. Carry out sowing by crossing passes (half in one direction, half perpendicularly) to ensure uniform distribution. Light raking incorporates the seeds to a depth of 2-3 mm.

Optimisation and Product Synergies

Maximise the potential of your ultra resistant grass by combining it with our complementary Multitanks solutions. Our Gardena irrigation systems automate watering during the critical germination period, avoiding the water stress that is fatal to young seedlings. Programmers allow frequent and light watering, ideal for maintaining surface moisture without washing away the seeds.

The application of starter fertiliser rich in phosphorus accelerates initial root development. This targeted nutrition, applied before or simultaneously with sowing, optimises germination rates and reduces the establishment period by 2-3 weeks.

For localised renovations, combine this grass with our soil preparation tools: scarifiers, rakes and spreaders guarantee professional application even on small surfaces. Optimal periods run from March to May and September to October, avoiding the climatic extremes of summer and winter.

Expert tip: mix the seeds with fine sand (1:1 ratio) to make it easier to visualise seeded areas and improve spreading uniformity over large surfaces.
