Palmetto® St. Augustine
Versatile Turfgrass
Palmetto St. Augustine grass is an improved variety of common St. Augustine whose origins can be traced back to the Atlantic coastal shores of Africa and the Americas. Palmetto was developed many years ago for its improved color and texture. Of all the warm-season turfgrasses available in the market today, Palmetto is still a leader in shade tolerance. This coarse texture, vigorously growing grass is an excellent choice for any residential lawn within the Coastal and Midland regions throughout South Carolina.
