Eremochloa ophiuroides
Centipede is the "lazy man's grass" of the Southeast — a slow-growing, apple-green turf that wants acidic soil, little fertilizer, and minimal mowing. It will decline if you over-love it: too much nitrogen or lime is the classic centipede killer. For low-input lawns in the coastal South it is hard to beat.
