PALMETTO St. AUGUSTINE - The solution for shady situations

FOR LAWNS AND LANDSCAPES.

St. Augustine is the most shade tolerant of all warm-season grasses.  We offer “Palmetto,” a semi-dwarf variety noted for its exceptional cold tolerance and extended growing season.  Its deep root system provides superior drought and heat tolerance.  The dark-green color and medium-fine blade delivers exceptional uniformity under a wide range of light conditions.  It has a coarse texture with a soft blade.  Palmetto will go dormant in the cooler winter months, and should not be overseeded.
