Sapphire Buffalo Grass: The Backyard Champion Queenslanders Love
Sapphire Buffalo Grass isn’t just a turf; it’s the premium, resilient, and velvety option revolutionizing Queensland backyards. Bred from the legendary Sir Walter Buffalo, it combines luxury and toughness like a top-of-the-line ute - sleek yet ready to take on anything. Here's the lowdown on why Sapphire Buffalo is the ultimate pick for your patch of paradise, including how to keep it shipshape with ease.
Why Sapphire Buffalo?
Queenslander Approved: With its deep green colour that keeps its cool even in winter, Sapphire Buffalo is like having your own piece of tropical paradise, minus the crocs.
Fine and Dandy: Boasting a finer texture and softer leaf than other buffaloes, it’s like walking on cloud nine. Barefoot gatherings are back, baby!
Shade Champion: Thrives in up to 70% shade, maintaining quality and outperforming rivals like Sir Walter. It's the undercover agent of the turf world.
Family and Pet Friendly: A fantastic choice for homes bustling with kids and pets. Its hard-wearing nature and quick recovery keep it looking pristine.
Caring for Your Sapphire Buffalo: Keeping It Top Notch
Mow Mindfully: Keep it trimmed every 5-10 days during the summer sizzle and relax to every 3-6 weeks when it cools down. Adjust the height from 2-5cm for sunny spots to 5-7cm in the more shadowy retreats.
Feed It Right: A slow-release fertiliser is your best mate twice a year; once in early Autumn and again in Spring. It’s the secret sauce for that dense growth and rich colour.
Pest Patrol: Apply Acelepryn GR pesticide in early Autumn and Spring to keep your lawn as chill as a beach day without the bugs.
Water Wisely: Water 2-3 times a week in the peak of summer and cut back to once a week during cooler months, or just when it looks a bit thirsty.
Just Right For:
Families dreaming of a backyard oasis that’s soft for play and tough against wear.
Anyone keen on a striking lawn without the back-breaking work, from sun-soaked spaces to shady nooks.
The eco-conscious gardener looking for a turf that’s kind to the planet and their water bill.
Maybe Not For:
If you’re chasing the fastest grower in the neighbourhood, Sapphire’s laid-back growth might not be your cup of tea.
Those looking for a set-and-forget lawn. While it’s low on the maintenance scale, a bit of love goes a long way.
