Stampede Buffalo Grass

Because this new buffalo is bred for vigorous growth, it establishes with confidence shortly after installation. Even if you only start with a few pieces or only a few runners in a patch-up job, its lateral spread ensures a quick, full recovery.

Yes, it is built to handle heavy wear and tear. Its ability to bounce back fast and its soft-to-touch, low-allergy leaves make it the ideal choice for active Aussie families.

Yes, Stampede brings a next-generation level of disease resistance to your backyard sanctuary. Even during sticky, humid summer months, this turf variety remained unaffected by disease and the common fungi that often impact standard turf supplies. To keep your healthy lawn thriving with minimal effort, we recommend being proactive by using Acelepryn GR, a highly effective proactive preventative pesticide, to shield your lawn from pests.

When put to the test across different sites, this new buffalo grass established itself as a standout performing cultivar during winter. It outperformed the rest, excelling in colour retention and overall quality, holding its deep, vibrant green much longer than traditional varieties. Our crew recommends leaving your lawn slightly longer during the cooler months to help it stay healthy and resilient against the winter chill. To maintain that deep green, fertilise in late autumn and apply ColourGuard PLUS every 10 to 12 weeks to keep your lawn looking its best until spring returns.

Absolutely. Stampede has high levels of shade tolerance and can produce a fantastic lawn with as little as 3 hours of direct sunlight daily. Across various trial sites, one consistently outperformed the others in low-light conditions, proving that buffalo is an interploid powerhouse for shaded gardens.

Scientifically known as Stenotaphrum secundatum (interploid hybrid), this variety is stoloniferous with minimal rhizome growth. This growth habit allows it to spread laterally and repair itself quickly.

Stampede is male sterile and will only produce a seed head if the plant is under extreme stress. This ensures that even if you miss a mow, you won’t see the messy stalks common in other varieties.

Unlike the standard varieties often found with many turf producers, Stampede is a scientifically unique interploid hybrid strain that was developed using embryo rescue technology. This advanced process involves bridging the genetic gap between a diploid buffalo grass (typically having a diploid buffalograss chromosome number 2n=2x=18) and a polyploid buffalo grass (which features a polyploid buffalograss chromosome number of number 2n=4x=36).
