Santa Ana Couch is a premium fine-leaf warm-season grass known for its dense texture, excellent wear tolerance, and bright green colour. With a medium growth rate and soft, fine leaves, it’s ideal for both residential and commercial outdoor spaces. This variety thrives in full sun, making it a great choice for high-traffic areas like backyards, sports fields, and playgrounds.

Originally developed in California, Santa Ana is a hybrid couch variety that spreads through above-ground runners, forming a thick, lush carpet of grass. It handles wear exceptionally well and recovers quickly from damage. With good colour retention and a short winter dormancy period, Santa Ana offers a clean, attractive look all year round. It’s also pet-friendly and easy to maintain, making it a practical, long-lasting lawn solution.
