At a Glance
SeaIsle1 Certified Seashore Paspalum was bred to withstand multiple environmental stresses, and this turf variety thrives in most environments.
Specifically developed for high salt tolerance, it thrives on salt water and grows quite well when watered from recycled or effluent sources. It has an excellent tolerance for high traffic and for low-light intensity (cloudy, foggy or smoggy conditions and tree shade) and develops good roots in sandy, clay or muck-type soils.
Cultivation
Sprigging is recommended for athletic fields, home lawns/landscaping and golf courses. SeaIsle1 Certified Seashore Paspalum can be successfully overseeded with bentgrass-ryegrass-alkaligrass blends.
Mowing
