Malay loves a good watering and not too much strong sunlight , so planting some shade trees or palms around the areas that do get long sun exposure will keep the grass green.
Malay shoots out runners that spread and root over the surface of the soil rather than under it , so makes it easy to keep trim around the edges and stop it becoming invasive.
We had problems weeks after it had settled with the gardener cutting too short.
The sun can then cook the runners and kill it off , so keeping the grass blades as long as practical saves the runners , and feels good between the toes too!
Good stuff.
