It’s quick to repair, its unique soft leaf and dark green colour make it perfect for those looking for a luxurious looking, low maintenance buffalo lawn with yearly care plans available.
Why Opt for Sapphire over other varieties?
- Shade tolerance: In 70% shade cover, maintains quality and growth and outperforms other Buffalo varieties such as Shademaster, Sir Walter, Kings Pride and Matilda.
- High wear tolerance: Perfect for high traffic areas, or for active backyards. Because it grows so well in challenging conditions, it’s also known for its excellent recovery rate.
- Low maintenance: Sapphire Buffalo requires less mowing or can be left to grow, meaning less overall maintenance. Like other Buffalo varieties, Sapphire’s dense growth naturally suppresses weeds and requires less sunlight while still maintaining its dark green colour.

Customer Reviews
Easy to deal with, filled an order just before cut off time the afternoon before, delivered on time as scheduled. Grass seemed to be good and after being down for about 8 days is doing well.
