How does Sir Walter compare to other grass types?
By Atlas Turf
10/20/2017 Compared to other grass types such as Kikuyu or Couch, and other Buffalo grasses, Sir Walter is bulletproof. Novice gardeners can easily maintain it and avid greenkeepers can develop into the best lawn on the block.
- Excellent drought tolerance, as Sir Walter Soft Leaf Buffalo was born and bred in Australia, under Australian conditions
- Less invasive into gardens than Kikuyu or Couch
- Requires less mowing than Kikuyu (approx. 50% in summer)
- Greener colour in winter as Sir Walter remains active, compared to other buffalos
- Softer leaf is ideal for children to play on
- Low thatch growth habit means a lower maintenance lawn
- Greater fungicide resistance means less spraying is needed
