Sea Spray is the first improved seeded seashore paspalum available. Perhaps saltgrass or siltgrass is a more recognizable name for this species. Seashore paspalum is a warm season, salt-loving grass that can be found in coastal areas and can be grown in inland and desert locations. Sea Spray exhibits a medium-fine texture similar to common bermudagrass. It grows by stolons and rhizomes making it an excellent choice for golf courses and sportsfields.

Sea Spray is useful for golf course greens, tees, fairways and roughs as well as sports turf situations. It will provide a low input, low maintenance turf compared to other grasses.
