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.
