Seashore Paspalum

SEA ISLE 1 - For Poor Water and Soil Conditions

FOR USE ON GOLF COURSES, SPORTS FIELDS, PARKS, and LANDSCAPES

Sea Isle 1 is the ideal turfgrass for areas facing limitations or restrictions on fresh water use.  With its extremely high tolerance for salt, Sea Isle 1 can tolerate most types of alternative water sources including gray or reclaimed water, recycled wastewater, and even ocean water.  This improved seashore paspalum cultivar exhibits a rich dark-green color and beautiful uniform texture.  Sea Isle 1 is also drought and wear tolerant, and requires less water and fertilizer than other warm-season grasses.
