Texas
Native St. Augustine is still the best warm season turf
grass for shade tolerance; it withstands heat well and
is tolerant of salt spray and salty soil. St. Augustine
is a relatively high maintenance grass, as it requires
fertile soil, good drainage, and good watering practices.
It produces no viable seed, so it must be planted by sod
or sprigs; it will then readily spread by means of long,
thick, flattened stolons. |
