Sapphire buffalo grass has all the benefits of the other high performance soft leaf buffalo grass, such as: needing less water, deep roots, greener in Winter, good for sun or shade and it's hard wearing. However, Sapphire buffalo grass has the added benefit of a finer texture.

Characteristics

Winter Colour	Excellent Winter colour in Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne (Provided it is fertilised in April). It will go dormant in colder areas such as Canberra, but it will hold its Winter colour better in Winter.
Hot Weather Tolerance	Excellent/Thrives in hot humid and desert areas.
Cold Tolerance	Tested down to minus 10 ºC in Canberra.
Shade Tolerance	Moderate to good. Tests have shown it is similar to other Buffalo varieties.
Wear Resistance	Excellent, with very fast recovery.
Salt Tolerance	Good. Similar to other Buffalos.
Mowing Height	35mm - 45mm in full sun, and 50mm to 60mm in the shade.
Recovery From Injury	Excellent, as it has fast growing stolons.
Use	Residential and commercial lawns, parks etc.
Root Structure	Deep rooted.
Drought Tolerance	Excellent once established, due to its deep root system.
Texture	Fine compared to other good buffalo grass varieties. Soft to touch.

Sun and Shade

Like most buffalos, Sapphire is the answer for those maturing landscapes that have both shady and sunny areas. Watered and fertilized twice a year. Sapphire is excellent at out competing weeds once established.
