The unique characteristics of Sir Walter Buffalo are:

  • Australia’s #1 performing Buffalo in the shade
  • Deep green/blue colour
  • Thrives in hot and humid weather
  • Excellent disease tolerance
  • Fair to good salt and frost tolerance

Sapphire® Soft Leaf Buffalo is proven to be the most shade-tolerant turf out of all the Buffalo varieties tested. It has a 70% shade tolerance, only requiring 2-3 hours of sunlight per day, whereas other varieties can only handle up to 50%. Sapphire® Buffalo has a very deep root system with thick stolons, which allows it to thrive in hot, humid weather and can survive below freezing temperatures.

It is a fantastic-looking turf that sustains its colour well during cold winters Most buffalo types have the reputation of being coarse and scratchy but this is not the case with the Sapphire® Buffalo. This variety of Buffalo has a super soft leaf that folds in half along the axis giving it an extra fine appearance and protection from Queensland’s extreme climate.

Sapphire® Buffalo runners rapidly grow across the ground which enables it to repair quickly and recover from high traffic and stressful situations. The runners grow like a tight-knitted mat restricting and out-competing weeds leaving very little room for them to grow through. Sapphire® has also been proven to be less thatchy and spongy than most other Buffalo varieties.

Sapphire® Buffalo is a slower-growing buffalo grass, which will require less lawn mowing and maintenance than most other buffalo types. It requires mowing every 5-10 days in summer and every 3-6 weeks in winter. The recommended mowing height is 2-5cm in sunny conditions and 5-7cm in shaded conditions.
