Eureka Kikuyu is also a great solution for planting out larger areas and erosion control, given the rapid spread of its runners in favourable conditions. Its tolerance of water logged soils can also make it the best choice for transpiration areas. Eureka Kikuyu spreads by its vigorous growth from stolons and rhizomes and is a coarse textured grass with a high growth rate. The leaves are approximately 4-5mm wide and 25-40mm long and are yellow-green in colour. Good for home lawns, racecourses, parks and reserves, golf tees and fairways. Preferring a sunny aspect, Eureka Kikuyu is a dense, rapid growing lawn. Its vigorous growth habit allows it to repair very quickly if damaged and is able to establish a strong, deep root base to help it stand up to the hottest summer days. Eureka Kikuyu enjoys a long growing season and with regular mowing will hold a good tight growth mat. It holds its colour well into winter. It will brown off when frost affected but bounces back with full vigour in spring.
