Westland launches PureGreen™ – the ultimate lawn seed

Westland Horticulture, home to market leading brands such as Jack’s Magic, Boost, Resolva, and Peckish, is introducing the ultimate lawn seed, PureGreen™ – a hand-picked blend bred for a longer lasting green lawn, that grows extra dense to combat weeds, to deliver the perfect lawn.

 

At the heart of PureGreen™ is Westland’s proprietary variety, West Green, which has been developed following extensive research in UK and Irish domestic gardens. West Green is a revolutionary new grass seed that offers varietal excellence to deliver a dense, deep green lawn, with all the beauty and resilience modern gardeners demand.

 

The Next Generation in Lawn Seed

PureGreen™ is a carefully balanced mix of Westland’s, West Green, plus market-leading varieties of creeping red fescue, chewings fescue, and perennial ryegrass. These high-grade varieties have been selected specifically for UK and Irish climates and soils to deliver dense, fine-bladed, deep green lawns, that naturally suppress weeds through thick growth for an immaculate finish.

 

Truly a seed for all seasons, Westland’s new lawn seed features seasonally adaptive varieties that thrive year-round; growing quickly in spring, deep rooted and drought-tolerant to stay green and dense through summer, with an ultra-fine leaf blade for a close-knit lawn that naturally crowds out weeds in autumn, as well as withstanding cold winters that prevent bare patches where moss could take hold.

 

Premium Treatment Technology

Each seed is fully treated with an advanced treatment that includes:

  • Mycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen-fixing bacteria to encourage improved germination, rapid root development and better nutrient uptake
  • Seaweed extract and micronutrients to stimulate early establishment, even in cold temperatures
  • A natural green treatment that deters birds to protect seeds from being eaten, while also providing a strong visual effect when sowing.

George Pitcher, Brand Manager for Lawn, at Westland, commented: “Westland’s new PureGreen™ lawn seed is designed for the committed home gardener – a growing segment of consumers who seek long-lasting lawn perfection. This customer understands the difference between annual and perennial varieties, appreciates the science behind the formulation, and is looking for products that deliver visibly stunning results.”

 

Ideal for Creating a Stand-Out Lawn Range

With its sleek branding and performance-led messaging, Westland PureGreen™ will elevate any lawn care fixture, offering an aspirational product that complements the full Westland lawn care range. It provides a perfect up-sell opportunity for customers looking to create their best ever lawn.

 

To further encourage sales in store, Westland has developed a newimpactful DQP display unit for PureGreen, educating shoppers on the excellence of this new blend and demonstrating the depth of the root system to deliver a drought tolerant, deep green lawn.
