Seashore Paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum) is a durable and adaptable perennial grass that resembles St. Augustine grass, making it an excellent choice for turf in moist environments. Growing to heights of 0.3–0.8 feet, this grass thrives in full sun to part shade, though it performs best with ample sunlight. Its high tolerance for heat and salt makes it ideal for coastal and wet meadow landscapes, where it excels under challenging conditions.
Preferring moist, well-drained sandy soils, Seashore Paspalum can handle occasional inundation and withstands moderate foot traffic, quickly recovering from wear during its active growing season. To maintain its lush appearance, regular watering is required, especially during dry spells. This grass’s versatility and resilience, combined with its turf-like appearance, make it a standout for creating functional and aesthetically pleasing groundcover.
