Sapphire Soft Leaf Buffalo lawn has all the benefits of the other high-performance Soft Leaf Buffalo grass, such as; needing less water, deep roots, greener in winter, a good sun or shade lawn and hard wearing. However, Sapphire Buffalo Turf has the added benefit of a finer texture and deep green colour.

Sapphire’s deep-rooted system means it will stay greener for longer in dry summer conditions and requires less watering than most lawns. Sapphire Turf maintains excellent winter colour and is well suited to be grown in homes Australia-wide, including Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
