| Description |
Palmetto
St. Augustine is great choice for residential and commercial
use because it grows under a wide range of climate and
soil conditions, and thrives in shaded areas where other
grasses fail. It develops a massive root system, and once
established tolerates drought conditions better than some
grasses. |
