St. Augustine grass `6-72-182`

A perennial St. Augustine grass having outstanding cold tolerance, along with good resistance to St. Augustine Decline Virus and gray leaf spot.

St. Augustine grass

A perennial St. Augustinegrass having rapid lateral spread, an outstanding root system, a dark green color, and good gray leafspot resistance. This variety has a good overall turf quality and performs well under sod production conditions.

St. Augustinegrass (PS-247)

A perennial St. Augustine grass having outstanding dark green color, rapid lateral spread, a semi-dwarf growth habit, and a medium level of flowering shoot production. This variety has good gray leafspot resistance throughout the year and is cold tolerant.
