## Overview

Palmetto St. Augustine grass plugs offer a premium, semi-dwarf turf with superior drought, shade, heat, and frost tolerance. These 36 extra-large plugs deliver rapid growth and a lush, soft texture that stays green longer than other varieties, making them ideal for diverse southern U.S. climates and professional landscaping projects.

## Description

Palmetto grass has demonstrated very good drought tolerance in field tests. St. Augustine grasses in general are known for their shade tolerance, and Palmetto has exceptional shade tolerance, even when compared to the most shade tolerant varieties of St. Augustine. Palmetto grass will remain green longer than any other variety of St. Augustine, and will stay green much longer than Bermuda grass and Centipede grass. Palmetto grass will slowly become dormant after several heavy frosts, and will remain evergreen in temperatures below freezing if there are no hard frosts. Palmetto grass is a semi-dwarf grass, giving it a plush appearance similar to Seville and Delmar, but Palmetto grass is less prone to becoming thatchy, even in full sunlight. The leaf blade width is similar to Bitterblue and Raleigh and finer than Floratam. When mowed high (3" - 4") it is often mistaken for fescue. The leaf blades are tapered at the tip with a rounded end, and are soft to the touch, unlike the prickly feel of Floratam. Palmetto grass is rapidly becoming accepted as a landscaping standard as it has been used in thousands of lawns since 1994. Please note that like all turfgrass, Palmetto St. Augustine grass is a living plant, not a miracle grass. When properly maintained, however, Palmetto St. Augustine grass will deliver years of an aesthetically pleasing and functional lawn. Palmetto is a native St. Augustine grass cultivar selected for better color and finer texture than ordinary St. Augustine grass. Palmetto St. Augustine grass demonstrates superior shade, cold, frost, heat, and drought tolerance. 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 the ideal choice for residential and commercial use.

Review: Amazing Palmetto St Augustine Plugs - Unboxing the plugs after delivery I found them still vibrant green and only a little expected yellowing. I ordered these plugs 3 times and each time they all appeared the same. They must ship on Mondays bc I always received them on Wednesday. I live in NC and these ship from Florida. After arrival I took out 4 flats, 18 plugs in each flat totaling 72 beautifully, Large 2x2 plugs and watered them. I was able to take my time planting these and did not lose any after 2 weeks. They started growing immediately and after 1 week they already had runners or stalons. After one month the growth was fast and some stalons were 6 inches long. I planted the first box 12-18 inches apart and realized that these plugs can be cut in half doubling the number of plugs easily without harming the plant. Water these plugs everyday and follow the instructions and you will have grass growing in no time. The plugs are so much prettier in person. Great purchase and I will definitely order from this seller again.
Review: St. Augustin Grass - The grass (St. Augustin), was perfect and at a good price. Thank you for a excellent product. Felix
