This is one of the most popular lawn grasses in the south. It is tough, drought tolerant, and pest resistant, and it stands up well to foot traffic. It is green in the summer and goes straw/brown in winter. It can be started from sod or plugs. We used plugs, and it grew very rapidly. It is so dense that it does a great job of choking out weeds. Grows much slower than a lot of southern grasses, so we find that we don't have to mow as often. Mow at 1- 2 inches. Thrives in the sun, with regular watering, and will tolerate some shade.
