Products - Santa Ana

(Cynondon Dactylon X C. Transvaalensis)

santa anaSanta ana is a hybrid couch cultivar and has a finer leaf therefore a softer feel than Wintergreen. This lawn produces one of the nicer lawns of all the couches if properly maintained.  It is best to be mowed with a cylinder mower.  It is a darker/richer green than the other couches. We have used Santa ana on sporting ovals, home lawns, golf tees and cricket wickets.
