Kikuyu needs at least 5–6 hours of direct sunlight daily to stay healthy and green. It’s not suitable for shaded yards or under trees.
Due to its vigorous growth, Kikuyu requires regular mowing during the warmer months and may need edging to prevent spreading into garden beds. It benefits from seasonal fertilising and responds well to de-thatching in early spring.
