Which Grass Varieties Grow Better in the VIC/TAS Shade?

If you have large trees or buildings that cast shadows over your garden throughout much of the day, it may be in your best interests to look for a grass variety that performs well in shady conditions. In this article, StrathAyr will be focusing on Sir Walter Buffalo grass and TifTuf Bermuda grass. We will talk about why they are good choices if you have a predominantly shady garden, as well as how we can help you choose the right grass to grow in your garden, depending on your local climate.

Sir Walter Grass

Sir Walter Buffalo turfs a well-known and trusted variety of grass that is common in gardens all around Australia. Best known for its ability to grow well in many different conditions, from full sun to moderately heavy shady areas. This superior soft leaf buffalo grass is non-invasive and easy to maintain, giving you more time to enjoy your garden and less time working in it. One of the great things about Sir Walter grass is that it is Australian born and bred making it better suited to our environment.

TifTuf Bermuda Grass

Although slightly less shade tolerant than Sir Walter Buffalo grass, TifTuf Bermuda grass has been shown to still be a great turf choice for partially shady gardens. TifTuf Bermuda grass is soft underfoot and extremely good at repairing from wear, making it a better choice for high wear areas.
