Rescape® Seashore Paspalum Grass

Seashore paspalum blend

Seashore paspalum grass is a warm season, salt-loving grass that thrives in coastal climates but is also suited for inland and desert climates. It has a fine texture similar in appearance to bermudagrass and grows by stolons and rhizomes making it an excellent choice for sportsfields and golf courses. Seashore paspalum grass has tremendous salt tolerance and adaptability making it one of the few grasses that can successfully be grown along the beach. Being a warm season grass it has very good heat and drought toler-ance due to its deep root system. Rescape is a blend of improved, seeded cultivars of Seashore paspalum grass.

Seashore paspalum grass can be grown successfully as turf on:

* Residential Landscaping
* Playgrounds


* Parks
* Erosion Control


* Sportsfields
* Commercial Developments
* Shoreline Restoration

New turf: 2 to 3 pounds of coated seed per 1,000 square feet or 85 to 130 pounds per acre.
Overseeding existing turf: 1/2 to 1 pound of coated seed per 1,000 square feet or 22 to 43 pounds per acre.

Warm season grasses such as Seashore paspalum grass should be seeded when nightime air temperatures are consistently 77 degrees or greater (generally between the months of April and October). Germination is delayed if soil tempera-tures are below 65 degrees F. Emergence can be anywhere between 14 and 21 days. The higher the soil temperature, the quicker the germination as long as there is adequate moisture (irrigation). Establishment in 8 to 10 weeks depend-ing on date of planting.
