Selected species: Bahiagrass
A hard-wearing, coarse-textured grass with soft leaves. This species of turfgrass is commonly found along roadsides and within older parks. The species has excellent rhizomes which provide great wear tolerance and is near impossible to divot the turfgrass once firmly established. However, this benefit is soon lost as the species requires frequent mowing during summer to remove numerous seed heads and keep the vertical growth under control. Bahia grass shows poor shade tolerance.
Mowing height is 15 mm to 50 mm.
