Seashore paspalum

Paspalum vaginatum

Warm season, prostrate perennial sod-former comparable to Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon). Deeply rooted, dense and rapid-growing from stolons and rhizomes. Adapted to a wide variety of soils and sites, including coastal marshes. Tolerant of extreme salinity, allowing for irrigation with poor quality water. Also grows in fresh water. Survives both standing water and dry periods. Used as livestock forage, erosion control, wetland restoration, coastal sites and as high quality turfgrass in landscapes and golf courses.
