It offers superior drought, heat, shade, and frost tolerance, making it ideal for diverse southern U.S. climates. With a fine texture and semi-dwarf growth, it delivers a lush, low-maintenance lawn that stays green longer than traditional varieties, perfect for both residential and commercial landscaping. ## Description Palmetto grass has demonstrated very good drought tolerance in field tests. St. Augustine grasses in general are known for their shade tolerance, and Palmetto has exceptional shade tolerance, even when compared to the most shade tolerant varieties of St. Augustine. Palmetto grass will remain green longer than any other variety of St. Augustine, and will stay green much longer than Bermuda grass and Centipede grass. Palmetto grass will slowly become dormant after several heavy frosts, and will remain evergreen in temperatures below freezing if there are no hard frosts. Palmetto grass is a semi-dwarf grass, giving it a plush appearance similar to Seville and Delmar, but Palmetto grass is less prone to becoming thatchy, even in full sunlight. The leaf blade width is similar to Bitterblue and Raleigh and finer than Floratam. When mowed high (3" - 4") it is often mistaken for fescue. The leaf blades are tapered at the tip with a rounded end, and are soft to the touch, unlike the prickly feel of Floratam. Palmetto grass is rapidly becoming accepted as a landscaping standard as it has been used in thousands of lawns since 1994. Please note that like all turfgrass, Palmetto St. Augustine grass is a living plant, not a miracle grass. When properly maintained, however, Palmetto St. Augustine grass will deliver years of an aesthetically pleasing and functional lawn. Palmetto is a native St. Augustine grass cultivar selected for better color and finer texture than ordinary St. Augustine grass. Palmetto St. Augustine grass demonstrates superior shade, cold, frost, heat, and drought tolerance. This versatile turfgrass is used across the southern United States from the Carolinas to California under a wide range of climate and soil conditions making it the ideal choice for residential and commercial use. Review: Spreading the Grass - This grass is totally heat resistant and the coverage keeps going. I plan on purchasing more. Review: UPDATE: Grass looked healthy - The grass plugs are growing and spreading well! Would definitely buy again. The grass plugs arrived healthy, though they were root bound. It was easy to plant them. Will come back and report how they are growing. At this point, I would order again. ## Features - Palmetto is a native St. Augustine grass cultivar selected for better color and finer texture than ordinary St. Augustine grass.
