Bahiagrass is a hardy warm-season turf grass that establishes quickly and requires minimal care once established. Water deeply but infrequently to promote drought tolerance, and mow regularly during growing season. This grass thrives in sandy soils and tolerates foot traffic well, making it ideal for lawns in southern climates.
