Paspalum notatum
Bahiagrass is the utility grass of Florida and the Gulf Coast — deep-rooted, drought-proof, and content on poor sandy soil where finer grasses starve. It forms an open, coarse turf rather than a carpet, and its tall Y-shaped seed heads need regular mowing in summer. Pensacola and Argentine are the two staple varieties.
Large, unirrigated southern lots, pastures, and roadside-tough lawns.

Grass SeedSeedRanch
Argentine bahiagrass suits a practical Florida lawn where sandy, acidic soil and modest water and fertilizer inputs matter more than a dense carpet. The linked listing is a two-pound seed package; its current seed-tag analysis and treatment have not been verified.
Grass SeedPensacola bahiagrass suits sunny, lower-input southern turf when frequent seed heads and a less uniform finish are acceptable. The linked Outsidepride product is five pounds of coated seed. Evaluate its lawn planting rate separately from pasture directions, and do not turn drought survival into a promise of permanently green turf without water.
