Palmetto St. Augustine Grass Thrives in the Southeast
Palmetto®
St. Augustine thrives throughout the southeast within a wide range of
climate and soil conditions, making it the ideal choice for residential
and commercial use.
Palmetto
has an outstanding emerald green color, soft texture, and is more cold
hardy than most other St. Augustine varieties. Like any other grass,
Palmetto prefers full sun, but if managed properly will adapt to
moderately shaded areas receiving at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a
day. Remember that this grass is shade tolerant not shade loving. Air
circulation is important to its survival, so limb those trees up and
don’t box it in with eight foot solid privacy fences.

Contrary to popular belief it is perfectly safe to sod Palmetto and
other grasses in the winter. Just be sure it gets water once a week.
