A major grass in the transition zone area of the South. Ga. Does not tolerate high summer temperatures, more suited for moderate temps. Can be seeded. Though sometimes sold in stores in Florida in mixtures, it is not really suited for that temperate area, and will die out eventually due to diseases and heat. It is planted in the deep south, including Florida, but is very slow to grow and generally requires installation from sod.
Seeds are slow to establish.
Good drought and heat tolerances, along with insect and disease resistance. Wears really good to high traffic. Has wiry leaf blades that are extremely tough to mow. Biggest drawback for the south is the long time to establish. All rights reserved.
