Sir Walter is a creeping, broad, soft-leafed buffalo variety with a lush, deep green colour. It is easily contained as it creeps only across the surface area of your garden and is not sub-surface.

It's fast growth enables the lawn to "self-repair", making it the perfect choice for your family lawn. It's also the turf of choice if you have high traffic areas, pets or a heavily-shaded lawn area.
