Common Centipede Sod

A warm-season grass that’s particularly adapted to the southern environment — i.e., heat and poor soils — it shrugs off most pest and disease problems. Slow growing, it can go 10 to 14 days without needing a “haircut,” and a standard rotary mower easily keeps it in shape. And centipedegrass typically looks its best with only pound or two of nitrogen a year. Centipedegrass is a warm-season variety suited for Hardiness Zones 8A and 8B.
