Which Grass Seed I should buy?

Post by Strike »

Hi,

This is my first post :)

Which Grass Seed I should buy? Everyone in Pakistan used the term "America Grass" but there is no such thing.

Looking for dark green grass, just like you see at the petrol stations lol.

In England we use Ryegrass, would that work in Pakistan or which seed do you recommend for Pakistan climate?

Which one do you recommend?

Garden at the front next to GT road. There are two trees on the grass.

Welcome to the forum
The grass varieties suitable for Pakistani climate are:
Bahia Grass
Bermuda Grass
Centipede Grass
Zoysia Grass
but the best recommended grass is Bermuda, If you find Yukon variety of Bermuda Grass it will be an excellent choice, it has also higher cold tolerance.

American,dhaka,fine dhaka,chinese grass these are local names used by the local nursery men in Pakistan.these are actually different varieties of popular Bermuda grass.some people like Korean grass which is actually ground cover in other countries.bermuda has great varieties even hybrids for different sports.use bermuda which is heat ressitant.you can get it from US as there are hot areas as compared to UK.grass varieties for UK may not be heat tolerant.just compare the hot summers of our plains with the UK summers.

Thanks for the recommendation.

So there is a lot of different type of Bermuda Grass? I am looking for grass to stay green all the time in hot and cold weather. Even not watering the grass regular.

I have typed Bermuda Yukon Grass in Google Images, and it don't look nice :(

Do you know anything about Ryegrass? Would that work well in Pakistan?

Asalam u alikum
In my garden the Grass is although green, but it is not fluffy as sometimes we See. In Faisalabad I have seen the grass outside Ibrahim Fibre office (its kind of light green, but look so smooth)

Anyone can help me find which type grass it is, or anyperson can show Pakistan variety of grass.

Waiting

Thanks and Regards
