- Floratam is a vigorous, coarse textured St. Augustine grass variety. Stolons of Floratam are large, purplish-red in color (demand this characteristic when purchasing sod) with internodes averaging 3" in length. Leaf blades are wider and longer than common St. Augustine grass.
- St. Augustine Floratam is a coarser textured grass when viewed upclose. However, when viewed as a lawn, the coarseness of the blades are reduced. Mowing height should not be over 1 1/2". However, if you do not water in dry weather, increase the mowing to 2" or higher if possible.
- Floratam is one of the most cost effective St. Augustine grasses to satisfy your residential or commercial needs. It is believed to be native to the coastal regions of both the Gulf of Mexico and the Mediterranean.
- St. Augustinegrass is established by vegetative propagation only, which includes sod, plugs, or sprigs. Vegetative propagation means that plant parts with growing points are used for planting rather than seeds.
- It is important to provide irrigation on the correct schedule when grass is newly planted. Multiple, short (5–10 minutes) irrigations throughout the course of the day for 7–10 days following planting helps the grass establish without drying out. For the next 7–10 days, irrigate once a day to apply ¼–½ inch of water. After this, frequency should be reduced to 2–3 times weekly, again applying ¼–½ inch of water.
