Boost your summer holiday sales with Johnsons Lawn Seed Quick Lawn and help revive the UK's lawns

 

In light of the significant challenges UK garden lawns have faced since the start of 2024, Johnsons Lawn Seed urges retailers to order its popular Quick Lawn with Accelerator mix to meet the growing demand for effective and rapid lawn care solutions.

 

The beginning of this year has seen intense and persistent rainfall, leading to soggy lawns across the country, particularly in areas with clay-based soils. These conditions have resulted in widespread damage to garden grass, promoting the growth of moss, algae, and other unwanted weeds.

 

However, as this period of excessive rainfall gives way to the drier conditions of summer, lawns will require more than just a standard seed mix to recover. As the country’s weather finally warms up and homeowners prepare for the summer holidays, there is a significant pent-up demand among gardeners eager to get outside and rejuvenate their gardens and are seizing the opportunity to care for their lawns. The desire to refresh garden spaces is stronger than ever, and retailers can support this resurgence with Quick Lawn, designed to help lawns recover quickly and thrive.

 

Quick Lawn: The ultimate solution for summer revival

To meet the urgent needs of homeowners, Johnsons Lawn Seed Quick Lawn addresses the key demands of modern gardeners after the wet winter and spring. The advanced formula delivers rapid germination and fast lawn establishment while significantly reducing water requirements. Quick Lawn needs only a third of the water typically required for lawn establishment, making it ideal for both new lawns and overseeding projects.

 

Key Benefits

Rapid germination: Quick Lawn promises 38% more grass within the first seven days compared to non-coated seed, thanks to its unique Accelerator treatment. Accelerator attracts beneficial bacteria in the soil to the grassroots to further the establishment, breaking down organic matter, releasing essential nutrients, and creating the ideal conditions for seed germination.

 

This rapid growth ensures that lawns can be quickly restored to their former glory, providing immediate satisfaction to homeowners.

 

Fast establishment: The wetting agent in the seed coating speeds up water absorption, leading to a strong, thick lawn even in wet or cold conditions. Fine-leaved Dwarf perennial Ryegrass, Strong Creeping Red Fescue, and  Slender Creeping Red Fescue create a well-balanced blend that has a deep root system, excels in shaded areas and is tolerant of drought, making it suitable for a variety of garden settings and elements.  A best seller for garden centres, Quick Lawn is a reliable choice for homeowners facing the increasingly unpredictable UK weather.

 

Reduced watering: The advanced technology in Quick Lawn reduces the amount of water needed, aligning with consumer demands for more sustainable gardening solutions. This is also particularly beneficial during periods of dry weather, helping homeowners maintain lush lawns without excessive water use.

 

Guy Jenkins, Consumer Manager at Johnsons Lawn Seed said: “We encourage retailers to meet the urgent needs of gardeners this summer facing the current lawn care crisis due to the slow and wet start to the year. With its proven performance and advanced seed technology, Quick Lawn addresses immediate lawn repair needs and will rejuvenate customer gardens over the holidays”

Quick Lawn with Accelerator-treated seed is available in 210gm, 425gm, 1.275kg, and 4.25kg cartons, also in 10kg or 20kg bags.
