Description

Everybody is talking about Sapphire. Why is this Buffalo so good? It has two added benefits that set this grass apart from other Buffalo, that being the texture and colour.

Sapphire is known as 'The only Fine Textured High Performance Buffalo turf in the world'. This grass exhibits a fine leaf texture, making this Buffalo extremely soft to touch and is ideal for children and animals to enjoy.

Sapphire's colour is truly amazing, its' deep green colour will make your home lawn, "the envy of the street". Sapphire has excellent winter colour and holds this colour longer. Sapphire Buffalo also excels at out competing weeds due to its tight matting and high performance and is great for those areas that have both sun and shade.
