Description

GENERAL INFO:
- Sapphire Soft Leaf Buffalo was bred from Sir Walter Turf, but has a much finer texture.
- Best laid September – May.
- Can be laid in winter but may be off colour and will take a lot longer to take root.
- After installation water thoroughly for 7-10 days, morning and night, or until lawn is established. As this will take longer in winter, make sure the turf does not dry out until roots are established.
- Once established, water weekly or as necessary, depending on weather. 1-2 deep waters per week in the heat of
summer. Use the colour of the lawn as guidance.
APPEARANCE:
- Sapphire is a fine textured soft leaf Buffalo.
- This soft leaf Buffalo Grass has a much softer texture compared to other coarser looking buffalo lawns.
- The leaf is about 17% finer, and when it matures it folds its leaf in half and gives the appearance of a much finer lawn.
- It has great winter colour, staying greener for longer than most other Buffalo’s available.
WHY CHOOSE SAPPHIRE SOFT LEAF BUFFALO?
- Sapphire is the only high performance fine textured buffalo available.
- It is a moderate maintenance Buffalo.
- It has the ability to maintain a crisp, green colour in summer and winter.
- Provides good wear tolerance in high traffic areas (backyards with dogs, heavily shaded playgrounds, etc).
- Quick recovery from wear and damage.

- Best option if you have shade but don’t like the look of broader leaf buffalos.
