Centipede Grass - Maintenance and care for lawns.
Centipede grass has probably the lowest maintenance of the warm season grasses.
Its popularity stems from the tenacity to grow on poor, sandy soils to clay based ones. Needing little fertilization and not needing to be mown as much makes it a preferable for busy lifestyles. In normal average rainfall years it can do very well with just a little care. Or divide the requirements into seasonal fertilization schedules. The texture is said to be coarser than the so-called better grasses, but this may be due to the lack of moisture in a given season.
