Sapphire St. Augustine is a finer bladed turf grass than traditional St. Augustines. It has been found to retain its blue-green color late into the fall while having fewer diseases and insect issues. Like other St. Augusines, Sapphire does well in shaded conditions and tolerates salt spray and mild drought conditions. Homeowners will also find it to be wear tolerant under moderate traffic conditions. Call for more information!
