Santa Anna Couch is a summer active grass and is commonly used on domestic lawns in South Australia. With a fine leaf, bright green colour and tight-knit growth habit, it can look like a fine carpet. Like all couch grasses, it goes dormant in winter and will require coring and scarifying every 2-3 years for maintenance. Additionally, Santa Anna requires a full sun position and is popular with those who like the look of a manicured lawn.

GENERAL INFO

• Susceptible to weed infestation through the air and also from the soil underneath when dormant.
• Weeds generally tend to be choked out when the couch starts actively growing again.
• Santa Anna prefers a position in full sun.
• Minimum 6+ Hours of direct sunlight per day needed. 
• Best laid September – May.
• Not supplied over winter as if planted while dormant it will look off colour or brown, and wont take root until spring.

APPEARANCE:

• Santa Anna has a fine leaf and is bright green in colour, giving it the overall appearance of fine carpet.
• It has a very tight-knit growth habit that tends to thatch up and become spongy very quickly requiring regular coring/scarifying.
• Like all couch grasses, Santa Anna is dormant in winter from around May to September/October which means it does not actively grow.
