Living in an area that has a lot of shade presents a variety of issues to individuals who want to grow a beautiful lawn. Whether you are building a new home and setting up a lawn for the first time or interested in revitalizing your current lawn, it’s important to make sure you choose the right turfgrass for your shaded landscape.
As usual, St. Augustinegrass is the best overall species for growth in shade, as this is one of the best and most versatile turfgrasses for Florida landscapes. You should look for ‘Seville’ and ‘Delmar’ cultivars, as they have the best shade tolerance. You can also choose Zoysiagrass for your shady landscape. Any cultivar of this turfgrass will be good for your landscape. It should also be noted that Bahiagrass is not recommended for shady conditions, but some centipedegrass will tolerate moderate conditions. If your landscape has a large amount of shade, Bahiagrass is not the right choice for your needs.
