Dallis grass
Paspalum dilatatum
Dallis grass is a robust perennial turf and pasture grass that thrives in moist, fertile soils with at least partial sun. It spreads vigorously by rhizomes and seed, so regular mowing or edging is needed to keep it in bounds. Best suited for lawns, erosion control, or livestock pasture rather than ornamental garden beds.
