Royal Bengal Couch Seed

Royal Bengal Couch Grass Seed delivers a premium, fine-leaf lawn that’s hardy, drought tolerant, and self-repairing. Perfect for Australian backyards, this improved variety produces a dense, high-quality turf that stands up to kids, pets, and heavy use. With excellent wear tolerance and strong recovery, it’s also a popular choice for sports fields and golf fairways.

Unlike standard couch, Royal Bengal Couch offers faster establishment, improved winter colour, and a premium lawn finish that stays greener for longer.

Why Choose Couch Grass Seed?

Couch grass (also known as Bermuda Grass) is one of the most popular warm-season lawn types in Australia. It thrives in hot summers, tolerates drought, and repairs itself quickly from wear and damage. With a fine leaf texture and fast growth, it can handle low mowing heights and heavy foot traffic, making it ideal for home lawns, sports grounds, parks, and golf courses.

⚠️ Note: Couch grass needs full sun (8–10 hours daily) and is not suitable for shady areas.
