Sapphire for Residential Development
Testimonials
"From a production standpoint, Sapphire's grow-in time is 1 to 1-1/2 months less than other St Augustines. It seems to hold darker green color better than some hybrid semi-dwarf St Augustines. And, Sapphire appears to be more frost tolerant, staying green longer into the season. This can be a "positive" in areas of southern Florida where extended frost periods are not really an issue."

Sapphire Creates
a Lawn to Live OnTM
|
Sapphire St. Augustine is a very attractive turfgrass. It is an excellent alternative to “standard” St. Augustines. Sapphire has a pleasing blue-green color, and is softer than virtually any other St. Augustine that is available at this time. In fact, Sapphire is the only finer bladed, high performance St. Augustine in the world.
“High performance” means that Sapphire excels at the characteristics that make it durable and easier to maintain. It is a fast lateral grower: Sapphire grows in, and covers over turf damage, more rapidly than many other turfgrasses. Sapphire will weather more foot traffic than many St. Augustines; and tighter, denser growth habits will reduce weed infestation.
Suitable for warm, demanding climates, Sapphire tolerates salt, shade and drought, making it an excellent choice for coastal regions. Importantly: Sapphire requires less water and fertilization than most other St. Augustines.
Before choosing new or replacement turfgrass for a residential lawn, you should take a look at Sapphire. Soft... fine… durable: Sapphire will provide “a lawn to live on” for many years.
