Palmetto Soft Leaf Buffalo  

The Versatile Drought and Shade Tolerant Grass

Palmetto Soft Leaf Buffalo has to be about the best all round Buffalo ever and our most popular instant lawn. What makes Palmetto Soft Leaf Buffalo so good is that it still grows reasonably fast across the ground, but much more slowly upwards resulting in what we believe is the only hard wearing, low mowing frequency and low maintenance Buffalo. Go away for a few weeks holiday and you will not come back to a jungle.

Palmetto Soft Leaf Buffalo is well known to have the best winter colour of any Buffalo, which we have experienced first hand, Palmetto is consistently greener than all other lawns. A recent study showed Palmetto Soft Leaf Buffalo had 25% better late winter colour than its major competitor. To us, it seems that more landscapers buy Palmetto Soft Leaf Buffalo than any other product over and over again.

Sapphire Fine Soft Leaf Buffalo  

Australian designed and owned Sapphire Soft Leaf Buffalo is the only high performance, fine textured Buffalo in the world!

What makes this so different than other soft leaf Buffalo is that it has such a fine texture when mature. For those who do not like the coarseness of Buffalo, this is the turf for you; its leaf folds in half and gives the appearance of a much finer lawn. Sapphire Soft Leaf Buffalo is faster growing than Palmetto Soft Leaf Buffalo, but not ridiculously fast and is a moderate maintenance Buffalo. Its great winter colour and its fine texture make it one of the most beautiful lawns in the world.

Sapphire Soft Leaf Buffalo is a drought Tolerant / Resistant grass, hard wearing, great for high traffic areas, dogs & kids. It is one of the few grasses which tolerates both sun and shade making it extremely versatile.

Sapphire Soft Leaf Buffalo is generally a mow and grow grass, with little other maintenance required. Just water occasionally, fertilize twice a year and rarely do anything else. Sapphire Soft Leaf Buffalo is excellent at out competing weeds once established.

This Australian bred turf is now a huge success in the USA, with thousands of acres being grown.
