Sweet Smother Turf

Best-in-class shade performance. Soft, low-maintenance turf for SEQ gardens.

Sweet Smother—also known as Durban Grass—is the most shade-tolerant turf variety sold in South East Queensland. It’s ideal for home lawns that struggle with low sunlight, performing where other turf varieties fail.

With a soft, medium-broad leaf and lime green colour that deepens with shade or fertiliser, Sweet Smother creates a lush, comfortable lawn with minimal effort. It handles everyday foot traffic and resists disease and weed pressure well, making it a solid all-rounder for shaded residential spaces.

Key Features

• Thrives in shade: Grows with just 2–3 hours of direct sun or filtered light
• Soft underfoot: Comfortable leaf texture for barefoot areas
• Colour adapts: Bright lime green in full sun, darkens in shade or when fertilised
• Low maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep once established
• Resistant to disease and weed invasion
• Performs best in SEQ climates

Best Suited For
