St. Augustine Floratam
Introduced in 1973, Floratam is almost exclusively used in Florida. Floratam establishes and spreads rapidly, while producing thick turf with a very coarse texture. It does well in many diverse soils and is highly competitive against weeds. Proper mowing and irrigation make Floratam a well-adapted turf for home lawns in Florida.
