Palmetto St. Augustine - The Versatile Grass

 


Palmetto St. Augustine is a Buffalo grass discovered and developed on a turf farm in Florida. Palmetto has outstanding emerald green colour that is a true eye catcher. It performs well in full sun yet thrives in shaded areas, requiring only 3 hours of filtered sunlight per day. It is a cold hardy Buffalo grass that is frost tolerant and holds autumnal colour longer than green and blue Couchs, Kikuyu, Durban and other Buffalo varieties. In fact, Palmetto St. Augustine will remain evergreen in many parts of Australia.
