 Palmetto St Augustine Lawn Grass Plugs - In
coastal regions, life is filled with
sun, fun and salt air. While these
elements can make for a great weekend,
they are often too much for some grass
varieties to take. With high heat,
humidity and salt levels in the
southeast and other coastal areas, it is
often a challenge to produce lawns that
are healthy, beautiful and resilient.
Because of the abundance of large oak,
willow and other shade trees, finding a
grass variety that thrives in sun and
tolerates moderate shade is yet another
problem. Palmetto St. Augustine is so
versatile it overcomes these and other
elements Mother Nature throws its way.
With a striking medium emerald-green
color and a softer texture than other
St. Augustine varieties, Palmetto gives
good fall color retention. Come spring,
you'll find Palmetto ready to green up
quickly after its winter rest.

Palmetto St Augustine Grass Adaptation
Developed in Florida, Palmetto
St Augustine grass is a
favorite in coastal and island areas and
is rapidly being positioned as the
landscaping standard, having proved
itself repeatedly since 1994. Palmetto
prefers heat but will handle cold better
than other types of St. Augustine. A
hardy performer in both full sun and
partial shade, Palmetto offers an
extremely dense root system and natural
resistance to cinch bugs - qualities
that allow it to fair well in drought
conditions and to remain greener longer
throughout the year. Whether you're looking for a grass to
blanket your yard or you need a
versatile option for commercial use,
Palmetto St. Augustine is a prime
contender.
