Palmetto Buffalo is one of the most popular lawns, due to it impressive drought & shade tolerance. It has an outstanding emerald green colour that is a true eye catcher.

It performs well in full sun yet thrives in shaded areas where other grasses fail. Palmetto St Augustine (Dwarf Soft Leaf Buffalo) requires 2 to 4 hours of direct sunlight. No grass can survive in shade, but Palmetto is better than others.

Palmetto is a cold hardy Buffalo grass, which is frost tolerant and holds winter colour longer that all other warm season turf varieties, including Kikuyu, and all other buffalos. It will remain evergreen in most areas of Australia.

Palmetto St. Augustine has a deep & fast establishing root system; as a result Palmetto performs better in those harsh drought periods Australia is known for. It requires less watering compared to other varieties.

Wear & damage is no problem of the Palmetto Buffalo as it recovers quickly from damage caused by wear or minor scalping.  It sends out runners to repair open areas.

Another great feature of the Palmetto is it’s non-invasive. This means it won’t get under garden edging & invade your garden beds like other grasses tend to do.
