Since you know that it is buffalo, you have solved half the question. The coloring of the grass is due to high amounts of phosphorous in the soil. If you decide to fertilize, do so with light applications of a good balanced fertilizer that supplies a 10 or 15 % nitrogen. You should see an improvement in 2-3 weeks. I'm in San Antonio, Texas and am glad to hear that you are growing buffalo grass in Perth. I'm always interested in results that other climates have to offer our foliage companions. Other questions can be directed to local nurseries and master certified nursery professionals.
