FLORATAM
FLORATAM St. Augustine Grass is the most widely produced and used St. Augustine grass in Florida. This St. Augustine grass 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!
