St. Augustine

Floratam - St. Augustine Floratam grass was released by the Florida and Texas Agricultural Experiment Stations in 1972 as a SAD virus and chinch bug resistant turf selection. It is also brown patch tolerant also.  Floratam is a vigorous, coarse textured St. Augustine grass variety. It is considered the most drought-tolerant of all St. Augustine grasses.  It is best suited in full sun areas.  Its thick growing nature keeps weeds in check with proper maintenance.  Floratam flourishes in our high temperature summers making it the ideal choice for most Florida homes.

Shade - Similar to St. Augustine Floratam but holds up better under shade conditions.  It also thrives in the sun.  Has a nice emerald color and is very durable.  Recovers quickly from general wear and tear.  A good choice if you need to sod a yard which has many trees, a park, or any area that will receive more shade than sunlight.

Palmetto - Palmetto is a native St. Augustine cultivar selected for better color and finer texture. Palmetto St. Augustine demonstrates superior shade, cold, frost, heat, and drought tolerance. Better than most St. Augustine grasses, Palmetto Grass holds its dark green color in sun as well as shady conditions. It has a dense, moderately course blade which is very tolerant to traffic.  Palmetto establishes itself quickly but tends to have slower vertical growth which reduces the frequency of mowing.  This versatile turfgrass is used across the southern United States from the Carolinas to California under a wide range of climate and soil conditions making it a good choice for both residential and commercial use. 

Sapphire - Sapphire St. Augustine grass has a pleasing blue-green color and has excellent color retention. Sapphire is hardwearing in demanding climates. Sapphire St. Augustine grass tolerates salt, shade, and drought. It performs well with less maintenance, fertilization and water. Sapphire is positioned to be a superior homeowner's grass due to improved wear recovery and reduced weed problems.
