  • Very high salt tolerance/greater than bermudagrass
  • Full sun to moderate shade tolerance
  • Excellent drought tolerance
  • Better cold tolerance than most bermudagrasses
  • With high nitrogen/lower mowing heights afford good winter color in mild winter climates
  • Good wear tolerance/Moderate recovery
  • Very good performance in wet, boggy conditions

  • Very good disease tolerance in saline conditions

Estalishment & Maintenance

  • Seed at 1/2 - 1 lb per 1000 sq. ft.
  • Best planted late spring through mid-summer
  • Requires good quality water for establishment (30 days)
  • Seedbed should be kept moist during germination
  • Germinates in 10 - 17 days with optimal soil conditions, 65-80º F. Do not plant with soil temperatures below 60º F. Full coverage in approximately 8-10 weeks
  • First mowing recommended when turf reaches approximately 1" in height

For best performance, fertilize at annual rate of 2 - 3 lbs N/1000 sq ft. Early fall and spring fertilization is best. Summer fertility with high nitrogen is not recommended. Avoid applications of more than 0.5 lb. of fast release, water-soluble nitrogen/1000 sq. ft. Seahorse paspalum likes potassium and chlorine.

Recommended mowing height is 0.5" – 1.5" with reel mowers. To reduce incidence of scalping during summer season, gradually increase mowing height during peak growing conditions.

Deep, infrequent irrigations are best throughout the growing season.
