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.
