PALMETTO ® ST AUGUSTINE (STENOTAPHRUM SECUNDATUM)

Palmetto is a variety of Buffalo Grass (also known as St. Augustine) that thrives in South East Queensland and across Australia. Soft leaf buffalo lawns are noted for their shade tolerance. Palmetto demonstrates superior shade, cold, frost, heat and drought tolerance when compared to other soft-leaf buffalo grass varieties. Where many buffalo grass varieties have a very open straggly growth habit, Palmetto is a much tighter knit, more dense and compact variety that is far more visually appealing, hence its position as the number one selling proprietary soft-leaf buffalo grass in the world. It performs with excellence in full sun or in semi-shaded areas making it an ideal choice for residential or commercial use.
