Turf Tips: Lawn winter colour cheat
Helping your lawn winter colour can be a difficult task. Some lawn varieties naturally lose colour in winter as they go dormant, and others are affected by frost. This week’s turf tip is a great lawn winter colour cheat to keep your lawn green year round. This is especially helpful if you have a special event or you are selling your home during winter.
Why does your lawn winter colour happen?
With the sun lower in the sky the winter days are shorter. This gives your lawn less sunlight energy reducing the amount of photosynthesis. This slows the growth rate and the amount of chlorophyll being produced. The chlorophyll is where the green pigment comes from so the lawn loses some colour. When the days get longer the process will ramp up and the colour will return.
If your area is affected by frosts this can also set the process back and affect the colour of your lawn.
The lawn winter colour cheat
While some homeowners are happy to wait till spring and watch their lawn come back to life, if you have a special event or are selling your home you will need a quick fix.
Thankfully we have a lawn winter colour cheat that can green up your lawn instantly. This will allow your home to look its best no matter what your occasion. The lawn winter colour cheat is ColourGuard , an easy to apply natural plant-based pigment. The best part is its 100% safe for the environment, people and pets as its 100 percent organic!
How it works
Coming in a 2 litre ready to use bottle you simply attach the bottle to your hose and spray evenly on your lawn. If you accidentally spray hard surfaces such as your driveway you can simply hose it off with water. Once applied ColourGuard
will dry in 2 hours of full sunlight.
ColourGuard is a permanent pigment and once dry won’t wash off with rain or water. It is also UV fade resistant and won’t bleed, run or stain once it has been absorbed by your grass. The colour will only disappear as your blade grows and you cut your lawn. Also with the slower growth rate of winter this means your lawn will keep its new colour even longer.
