QUEENSLAND BLUE COUCH

A native warm season grass that has a soft blue-green appearance. It is suitable for tropical Australia and southern Queensland.

Queensland Blue Couch is ideal in coastal conditions and will perform well in high humidity.  It does not have a high build up of thatch and is not as hard wearing as other couch grasses.

It is now a most popular species for landscape and garden usage. It has a soft texture with beautiful dark green/bluish leaves.  Is a suitable lawn for areas above South-East Queensland, where it does grow naturally.
