About This Variety
Meet This Variety
Centipede Grass is a warm-season lawn grass for regionally suitable sites with full sun and well-drained soil. Its stoloniferous habit supports gradual lateral growth, making it a practical choice for lawns and open areas where the planting can establish at a steady pace.
Use it where soil conditions and local climate suit this grass, with attention to moisture during establishment and routine care thereafter. Growth, color, and coverage vary with planting time, weather, soil preparation, and the management of the developing lawn.
