Description

Palmetto is a semi-dwarf St. Augustine grass that stands out for its exceptional performance in shady conditions, making it a top choice for Phoenix lawns with limited sunlight. However, it also thrives in full sunlight, showcasing its versatility. Palmetto has a coarse texture and a bright green color that adds vibrancy to any landscape. It is the most heat-tolerant of all St. Augustine cultivars, which is crucial for surviving Phoenix’s intense summers. Its excellent shade tolerance allows it to grow well under trees and in other low-light areas where other grasses might struggle. Palmetto should be mowed at heights between 1 1/2″ and 3″ using a sharp rotary mower to maintain its health and appearance. While its drought tolerance is fair, it may require more water than Bermuda grasses, but its ability to stay green and lush makes it a popular choice for those seeking a low-maintenance, shade-friendly lawn.

Watering & Maintenance

Watering

  • Initial (First 2 Weeks): Water daily to keep sod moist, critical for establishment.
  • Summer (May–Sep): Water 2–3 times/week, delivering 1.25–1.5 inches total, as fair drought tolerance requires more water.
  • Spring/Fall (Mar–Apr, Oct): Water 1–2 times/week, providing 1 inch total.
  • Winter (Nov–Feb): Water every 7–10 days to maintain semi-green color, adjusting for rainfall.
  • Note: Water early morning or late evening per City of Phoenix guidelines.

Fertilizing

  • Before Installation: Apply 16-20-0 or 15-15-15 fertilizer.
  • Spring (Mar–Apr): Apply high-nitrogen fertilizer to promote growth.
  • Summer (May–Aug): Fertilize every 45–60 days with balanced fertilizer.
  • Fall (Sep–Oct): Apply high-nitrogen fertilizer in late fall for winter color.
  • Winter (Nov–Feb): Optional light fertilization in early winter for green color.
  • Total Nitrogen: 4–6 lbs/500 sq ft annually.
  • Note: Test soil for alkaline conditions; avoid over-fertilizing in heat.
