Bahiagrass

Bahia grass is a low-growing creeping perennial with stolons and stout rhizomes. Stolons are pressed firmly to the ground, have short internodes, and root freely from the nodes forming a dense sod. Stems range from 15-70 cm (6-28 in.) high. The leaves are linear, between 5-20 cm (2-8 in.) long, 2-10 mm wide, tapering to a fine point. Bahia grass is a polymorphic species with three varieties: notatum, latiflorum Doell., and saureae Parodi (Bogdan).
