A key characteristic particularly important for this time of year is Winter Colour, particular in our nations Capital, Canberra. Whilst TifTuf is a warm-season variety and will go into a certain level of dormancy throughout the Winter months, it has shown that it holds substantially more colour as the temperatures cool than other couch varieties. It also greens up much faster than other varieties coming into Spring. Combine this with its superior drought resistance and durability, and you truly have the ideal lawn for Australian conditions - this lawn will outlast your typical cool season fescue blend lawn in Canberra, while looking good!
