High drought, sun and wear tolerance once established
Sir Grange is hardy and tough. It suits full sun situations and has high drought tolerance once established on a good sand/organic or 80/20 base of at least 100-200mm, which is an increasingly important consideration for both residential and commercial lawns. It also has a high tolerance for foot traffic and wear, with excellent self-repairing capability once the root zone is established to a depth of 200mm.

- High drought tolerance (once established)

Has your garden got areas of shade? Not a problem, Sir Grange Zoysia can handle it.
