Palmetto
Palmetto has 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 2-4 hours of direct sunlight. No grass can survive in extreme shade, but Palmetto is better than others. It is a cold hardy, frost tolerant Buffalo grass. It generally holds winter colour longer than most other warm season turf varieties including Kikuyu, Couch and other buffalos and will remain evergreen in most areas of Australia. Palmeto St Augustine also has a massive deep root system making it drought tolerant once established. Palmetto St Augustine recovers quickly from damage by wear or minor scalping as it sends out runners to repair open areas.
