Saltene Grass

Characteristics of Saltene Grass

Saltene lawn is a bit of a tough guy. It has a fine leaf, can be cut to high quality with a cylinder mower like a Couch or a Zoysia, but it's no princess. The structure of Saltene lawn is rugged and durable, it will thrive with minimal lawn care where others fail, and it's name is no mistake, it is the most salt tolerant grass available as a turf species.

The toughness of Saltene lawn means sharp mower blades are a must, and it retains a good green colour throughout the year. It is versatile in it's lawn mowing heights, accepting both low and high settings, however, it can be prone to thatch up quickly.

With all this said, how should the home owner evaluate this lawn grass as suitable?

Basically, it can be easily said that Saltene lawn is not a first choice for home owners, however, when nothing else works, or when a high salt environment is present, such as living by the sea, or a tough as nails choice is needed, Saltene lawn is a saviour that can look great and resist damage under otherwise trying circumstances.

Warning
Saltene lawn belongs to the Paspalum family, if the lawn becomes infested with Paspalum Weed, chemical treatment in the form of poisons must not be used. The same poison that kills the weed, will kill the lawn. Consult a Professional Weed Sprayer for your lawn care.
