The Best Grass For Shade in Florida
CitraBlue® St. Augustine
Grass can always grow in full sun, but shade can be difficult. When dealing with shady landscapes, grasses can struggle for a number of reasons. Lack of sunlight is the leading cause of issues, but for even some of the more shade-tolerant grasses disease can be an even bigger issue. Why is disease a concern? In shadier environments, it takes a longer time for the sun to dry out wet or damp areas which leads to a perfect environment for a fungal outbreak. When selecting a grass variety or cultivar for a shady environment, you're going to want something that can grow with limited sunlight and also stand up to diseases that are commonly found in the Florida climate.
CitraBlue® St. Augustine was bred for just that. CitraBlue offers many benefits including its top-performing shade tolerance and disease resistance. CitraBlue also offers a striking blue-green color and a slower-growing habit which leads to less maintenance when compared to other grasses in the Florida landscape.
