Description
St. Augustine grass is a warm-season grass with broad blades and excellent shade tolerance. It forms a lush, carpet-like turf that is well-suited for lawns in coastal and southern regions.
Planting Instructions:
Plant St. Augustine grass sod or plugs in late spring or early summer when soil temperatures consistently reach 65-70°F (18-21°C). Prepare the soil by tilling to a depth of 4-6 inches. Lay sod or space plugs 6-12 inches apart with good soil contact. Keep the soil moist until sod roots or plugs establish, typically within 2-3 weeks.
