Everyone in Melbourne loves a bit of outdoor time, whether it’s a playdate, park run or sangria in the grass. There are few things as frustrating as having hay fever spoil your beautiful day or rough grass inflame your skin during a picnic. Well, we’ve got a selection of grass species perfect for Melburnians with allergies and sensitivities. After all, everyone deserves a picnic.
We’ll help you pick the perfect low-allergy turf
We’ve listed some of the key qualities of our Buffalo, Bermuda and Zoysia grass turfs up above, but let’s look at their key differences. That’ll help you decide which one’s best suited to your Melbourne lawn.
- Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo is our best grass for allergy sufferers. It produces very little pollen. But best of all is the smoothness of its leaves. Buffalo grasses typically have serrated leaves, but our Sir Walter Buffalo has been cultivated over decades to be smooth-edged and soft. It’s a great all-rounder.
- TifTuf Bermuda is our second-best choice. It’s not as soft as Buffalo, but it is low pollen and is far tougher. Being a hard-wearing and rapidly self-repairing grass, it’s a great choice for kids and pets.
- Sir Grange Zoysia is a soft, lush, low-pollen turf —but it is also purely ornamental. It’s a gorgeous grass for no-walking show gardens and commercial spaces, but you won’t be playing and picnicking on it.
Since allergies are your biggest concern, we strongly suggest you stay away from the Eureka Premium VG Kikuyu: it sprays seeds and has serrated leaves —no good for the sensitive.
