Floratam is the most widely produced and used St. Augustinegrass in Florida. This St. Augustinegrass is a coarse-textured cultivar that has poor cold and shade tolerance. It has some degree of chinch bug resistance; however, new strains of chinch bugs that can damage Floratam have been identified. Floratam is perfect for home and commercial sites that have 100% SUN!
PALMETTO was founded by a Florida sod grower in 1988 and released in the mid-1990s by Sod Solutions according to the University of Florida IFAS Extension. Palmetto does well in full sun and partial shade, but not in dense shade. Palmetto is sometimes referred to as drought tolerant; however, research has not shown that it has any greater degree of drought tolerance than other St. Augustine grasses.
