| I obtained some plugs of this St Augustine grass from my parents house in Chesapeake, VA. It has been established in their yard for over 20 years and has not given them any problems.
Due to their climate, I assume this must be the "Raleigh" Strain of St Augustine. Many of the others shouldn't be able to survive in Virginia's climate. I'm hoping to buy some more plugs of this same grass to establish my yard in Roswell, GA due to how well it's done for them and the similarity of our climates. Thanks for any info. |

| It's really difficult to ID by looking at the grass blades. Del Mar is another one that I think is cold hardy. Who really knows? Floratam is easy to ID because of its unique thick purple reddish stolons. Sapphire has purple flower spikes that I never see in others. For grass with thin green stolons, they are more difficult to ID. |

| With it being 20 years old is a very good indication of what it is, and Raleigh is as good as guess as any. |

| Mark, How is your grass doing in Roswell? I live in Roswell also and am thinking about putting in St. Aug sod in my back yard. Did you ever find out the variety? |
