Johnsons Lawn Seed encourages stocking up for the upcoming season

Following the poor weather over the summer last year, and the UK Met Office declaring that December 2023 was warmer and wetter than average, consumer’s lawns are crying out for attention.  While a mild winter might sound appealing to some, our ever more unpredictable weather patterns are bad news for the UK’s lawns with compacted, waterlogged grass and moss taking hold. Johnsons Lawn Seed is urging retailers to take advantage of its highly regarded portfolio to help pent-up consumers who want to give their gardens some TLC for 2024.

 

With prolonged rainfall and flooding increasing, garden centres should start preparing for the growing demand for quality seed for the spring lawncare cycle and meet surging customer demand.  

 

Consumer Manager at Johnsons Lawn Seed, Guy Jenkins said: “With homeowners getting their lawns back into peak condition becoming a top priority, Johnsons Lawn Seed products will provide retailers with top-tier seed mixtures designed to enhance grass health, prevent moss growth, and promote lush, vibrant lawns.”

 

Retail potential with Johnson's Lawn Seed Products

Backed by extensive research and a commitment to sustainability, Johnson's Lawn Seed products boast superior germination rates. From hardy blends for robust lawns to specialised mixes designed for specific garden conditions, each product reflects Johnson's dedication to quality and innovation. 

 

Quick Lawn with Accelerator-treated seed

Experience rapid germination and fast establishment with this seed. It requires only a third of the typical water amount for new lawns, ensuring quick and efficient lawn growth.

 

Tuffgrass with Dog Patch Resistance

A unique blend of fine-leaved dwarf perennial ryegrass doesn't turn yellow when dogs urinate, making it a sought-after choice for families, garden enthusiasts, and pet owners. Not only does it resist dog-related damage, but it also stands up to family activities, excelling in low temperatures and snow while displaying improved drought resistance.

A classic mix designed for close mowing, offering a lush, high-class appearance with exceptional drought resistance.

 

After Moss

Coated in a special calcium carbonate-based shell, this seed gently raises soil pH levels, deterring moss return after application.

Transform tired lawns, fix patches, and sow new lawns with the latest seed technology. Consumers can benefit from a 30% increase in grass density.
