Sapphire Buffalo Turf is the number one Buffalo in shade. This has been based on averages gathered from the Horticultural Australia and Department of Primary Industries trial data. Sapphire is recommended for up to 70% shade in areas with low wear and up to 50% shade in areas with moderate to high wear.

Sapphire Buffalo Turf is the only Australian bred, fine leaf form of Buffalo turf and rated number one in shade tests. Sapphire rated number one in shade tests, but it also does very well in full sun. The performance of Sapphire is great, but the biggest reason for buying it is that it looks so much better than the other types of Buffalo on the market.

Its soft fine texture makes it a real standout, and its beautiful green colour makes Sapphire the best looking Buffalo turf.

The shade figures in the link don't agree with the research data! Also Palmetto is missing, are the figures a little inaccurate ?
