Six years of intense trials, spanning Australia and the US, have led to a groundbreaking breakthrough in turf innovation. Lawn Solution Australia (LSA) is beyond excited to introduce the ultimate game-changer for Australian lawns—Stampede Hybrid Buffalo. Prepare for a lush revolution like never before!

Introducing Stampede Hybrid Buffalo: The Future of Turf!

Stampede Hybrid Buffalo is a cutting-edge interploid hybrid St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum) developed using advanced embryo rescue technology. This innovation resulted from the controlled crossing of a polyploid buffalo grass (2n = 2x = 30) with a diploid buffalo grass (2n = 2x = 18), creating a remarkable new standard in turf quality.

Proven through six years of trials across Australia and the United States, Stampede Hybrid Buffalo exceeded expectations in every performance metric. It demonstrated exceptional resilience during harsh winters, outperforming all other cultivars in cold, challenging environments. Additionally, it remained disease-free during humid summers where other grasses struggled, solidifying its reputation as a standout performer. With its outstanding visual appeal and excellent harvest quality, Stampede Hybrid Buffalo promises to revolutionize the Australian turf industry in 2026!

Prepare for a lawn that thrives under all conditions—it’s more than grass, it’s a game-changer!

From Quarantine to Cultivation: The Journey of Stampede Hybrid Buffalo Expansion

The next phase in introducing this groundbreaking grass to the market has focused on stock expansion. When a new variety is brought into Australia through quarantine, only a small number of farmers are initially provided for testing and propagation (and Active Turf was one of them!).

Active Turf’s Journey: Pioneering the Growth of Stampede Hybrid Buffalo

In 2024, Active Turf was proudly chosen as a foundation farmer for the highly anticipated Stampede Hybrid Buffalo. The journey has been nothing short of remarkable—from meticulously planting each individual runner into the soil to successfully harvesting and establishing the variety across expansive paddocks.

As the months unfold, Active Turf is gearing up to take the next monumental step: providing stock to LSA farmers for their own turf expansions. This milestone marks a pivotal moment in the rollout of Stampede Hybrid Buffalo, bringing this game-changing grass closer to revolutionizing lawns across Australia.

Stampede Hybrid Buffalo: Ready to Transform Australian Lawns in 2026

The eagerly awaited Stampede Hybrid Buffalo is on track for its grand debut! With supply steadily expanding, this revolutionary turf is anticipated to be available to consumers in many regions across Australia by 2026. Get ready to experience the future of lawns—lush, resilient, and truly game-changing!
