Palmetto
Palmetto (Stenotaphum secundatum) is particularly suited for frosty and shady areas. It is characterised by broad soft leaves and stems and has good dark emerald colour. Vigorous root system that grows accross rather than up which means it recovers quicker, and requires half the mowing of other buffalo types. Tends to resist browning by frosts better than other grasses. More resistant to drought than other broad leaf types. Specialty grass and priced accordingly.
