Ability to survive drought

Bahiagrass has a naturally deep root system that makes it very drought-tolerant, even in the sandy soils of the Southeast. Its natural texture is coarser compared to numerous regional kinds of grass, specifically cool-season grasses native to northern zones.

​Shade tolerance

Bahia Sod forms an extensive, deep root system. It persists better than other grasses in infertile, sandy soils and does not require high inputs of water or fertilizer. For these reasons, it is the dominant forage used in pastures throughout Florida and why it is a good choice for home sites on large lots or acreage or for anywhere without an irrigation system. It should be noted that during extended drought periods, bahiagrass will go into a drought-induced dormancy and turn brown until conditions become favorable for regrowth.

Bahia Sod can be found throughout the state but prefers acidic soils. It does not form excessive thatch. It may be grown from seed, which is abundant and relatively inexpensive, but may take some time to germinate and provide cover.
