Florida paspalum
Paspalum floridanum
Overview
Florida paspalum (Paspalum floridanum) is a perennial grass native to the southeastern United States. It is usually found on sandy soils, but can also tolerate clay and salty conditions. It grows up to 24 inches tall with narrow, flat leaves that are blue-green in color. Its small, whitish flowers bloom in late spring or early summer, and it produces small, white, seed-like fruits. This hardy grass is easy to care for and needs little maintenance, making it a great option for lawns and gardens. Its drought and salt tolerance also make it a great choice for areas with high wind and saline soils. Its ability to thrive in poor soils makes it a great choice for natural paths and driveways.
