Bahia Grass (Paspalum notatum) is a tough, low-maintenance perennial grass ideal for lawns, pastures, erosion control, and ground cover. Known for its deep roots and drought tolerance, Bahia grass thrives in hot, humid climates and poor soils where other grasses struggle. It grows thick and dense, creating a durable green carpet that withstands heavy foot traffic and resists pests. Perfect for home lawns, farms, and roadside planting.
