Swiss Lawn 500gr Vilmorin

Swiss Lawn 500gr Vilmorin (Reference: 4466912) represents the innovation of the French brand Vilmorin in the field of decorative lawns. This original composition transforms your garden into a natural meadow dotted with white daisies, combining aesthetics and authenticity for a unique and poetic result.

Use cases and benefits

This Swiss Lawn is aimed at creative gardeners and nature lovers wishing to move away from classic uniform lawns. It is perfectly suited to family gardens, relaxation spaces, private parks and recreational areas where a natural and rustic feel is desired.

The integrated white daisies bring an exceptional poetic and ecological dimension. They attract pollinating insects, contributing to the biodiversity of your garden while creating a delicate floral carpet that evokes authentic alpine meadows. This solution is ideal for children's play areas where the natural softness of daisies adds a particular charm.

Technical composition and specifications

The formulation of this Swiss Lawn is based on a balanced mixture of grasses selected for their complementarity: 30% Perennial Ryegrass MERCITWO, renowned for its rapid growth and resistance to wear, 30% Perennial Ryegrass 4N FABIAN, offering excellent density and a beautiful green colour, 30% Creeping Red Fescue HEIDRUN, ensuring drought resistance, and 10% Chewings Fescue BLEINHEIM for fine-leaved texture.

The addition of 1 gram of daisy seeds per packet constitutes the unique signature of this mixture. These small white flowers with yellow centres develop harmoniously between the grass blades, creating a striking visual contrast and a diverse plant texture. The 500 gram packet covers approximately 20 to 25 square metres depending on sowing conditions.

Installation and sowing technique

The success of your Swiss Lawn requires careful soil preparation. Begin by turning the soil to a depth of 20 centimetres, meticulously removing stones, roots and weeds that could compete with the young shoots. Refining the surface with a fork or rake produces a fine and homogeneous structure.

Pre-rolling stabilises the ground and prevents subsequent subsidence. Then sow evenly at a rate of 20 to 25 grams per square metre, crossing passes to ensure uniform distribution. A light raking will bury the seeds at 2 to 3 millimetres depth, followed by a light rolling to optimise soil-seed contact.

Regular but moderate watering is crucial during the first 3 to 4 weeks. Keep the soil moist without waterlogging, preferring frequent and fine morning waterings.

Expert advice and product synergies

To optimise germination of your Swiss Lawn, favour spring sowing (March-May) or early autumn (September-October) when temperature and humidity conditions are ideal. Avoid periods of frost or intense heat that would compromise germination.

Combining with a starter fertiliser specific to seeds promotes rooting and accelerates establishment. Complete your installation with programmable automatic irrigation systems to maintain the necessary moisture without daily constraints.

A common mistake is mowing too early. Wait until the blades reach 8 to 10 centimetres before the first cut, setting the height to 5-6 centimetres to preserve the young daisies. This flowering lawn requires less frequent mowing than a classic lawn, allowing the daisies to flourish and self-seed naturally.

For very sunny areas, consider a light mulching during the first few weeks to limit evaporation and protect young shoots.
