Description
Argentine Bahiagrass is ideal for sunny lawns along the Southern Coastal Plain and the Gulf Coast. With a finer texture and darker color than Pensacola Bahiagrass, Pennington Argentine Bahiagrass provides an attractive coastal lawn. This sun and drought tolerant grass thrives in lawns that receive eight or more hours of sun. Plant it in the early spring and start to see results within 7 to 21 days. A 3-pound bag covers up to 600 square feet for overseeding an existing lawn and 300 square feet for starting a new lawn from scratch.
