Unlike other fine-leafed Buffalo grasses that rely solely on fine leaves for their texture, Sapphire Buffalo Grass achieves its fine texture through a unique mechanism—leaf folding. As Sapphire Buffalo Grass matures, its leaves fold tightly along their axis, resulting in a finer texture.

This is a significant distinction because traditionally, fine-leaf Buffalo lawns often encounter thatch issues, have shallow root systems, wear out quickly, and grow slowly. A Sapphire Buffalo Grass lawn, however, does not suffer from these challenges.

Thanks to its exceptional performance and rapid runner growth, Sapphire Buffalo Grass is synonymous with durability and swift recovery. It's the perfect pick for families with active lifestyles and households that include large dogs.

Sapphire's standout feature is its remarkable shade tolerance, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a low-maintenance lawn that demands less frequent mowing.

With its deep-reaching root system, Sapphire excels in cold climates, maintaining its vibrant winter color longer than most other grass varieties.

Furthermore, this robust root network makes Sapphire highly efficient in water usage and exceptionally drought-tolerant. It's a win-win for both the environment and your lawn's vitality.

For optimal maintenance of Sapphire Buffalo Grass, consider the following guidelines:

Mowing Height:

• In sunny or lightly shaded areas, aim to maintain a mowing height of 2cm-5cm.

• In denser shade, go for a mowing height of 5cm-7cm.

Mowing Frequency:

• During the warmer months, it's best to mow every 5-10 days to keep your lawn in top shape.

• In the colder months, a more relaxed mowing schedule of every 3-6 weeks is appropriate.

Fertilization:

To ensure your Sapphire Buffalo Grass thrives, apply fertilizer twice a year:

• First, in early April.

• Second, in September.
