It is an easy grass to grow. What makes Sapphire different to other Buffalo turf varieties, is its fine texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil now, fine textured Buffalos have been slow growing and shallow rooted, but Sapphire is different. We believe it is the on fine textured, quick recovery from wear Buffalo in the world.\u003cbr\u003eSapphire has excellent disease tolerance, and great winter colour. Sapphire does not rely on fine leaves for its fine texture, but its folding leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Sapphire is mature, its leaf folds at tight angles along its axis, resulting in a fine texture. This is important because fine leaf Buffalo varieties usually have thatch problems, are shallow rooted, poor wearing and are slow growing. Sapphire does not suffer with these problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCharacteristics\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eWinter Colour\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent winter colour in Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne (provided it is fertilised in April.)
