Paspalum notatum seed
LATIN NAME: PASPALUM NOTATUM
COMMON NAME: Bahia Grass
In the pastures and the roadsides of the warm world, the bahia grass grows as a low, creeping, perennial grass with the broad, flat, grey-green leaves and the two to four slender, erect, V-shaped seed heads that rise above the mat in the summer. It spreads by the short rhizomes and the seed into a tough, dense turf, and it stands the heat, the drought and the poor, sandy soils well. Give it full sun and ordinary, well-drained ground.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The bahia grass appears in the studies of the pasture grasses of the warm world, its V-shaped heads and its creeping mat keeping it in view in the work on the forage grasses of the southern pastures and the soil-holding grasses of the warm slopes. The research looks at the way the creeping mat holds the soil, the V-shaped heads shed the small seeds, and the seed biology of the small, hard seeds.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
In the pasture and the roadside bank, the bahia grass makes the tough, creeping turf that feeds the stock and holds the eroding slopes of the warm regions. The deep-rooted grass stands the drought and the poor ground, and the grass makes the fine pasture grass, the soil-holding grass and the grass of the warm, sunny place. It is a plant for the open, sunny, deep and free-draining place.
To grow the Bahia Grass from seed, scatter the seeds on the surface of moist, sandy soil.
Scatter the seeds on the surface of moist, sandy soil, and keep the young grasses in the open, sunny spot. The V-shaped heads rise with the summer.

COMMON NAME: Bahiagrass, Common Bahia, Pensacola Bahia
The bahiagrass is a hardy and generous grass of the warm pastures and the lawns, and its tough, creeping tufts and its distinctive, V-shaped flower heads have made it one of the most valued of the warm-season grasses of the Americas. The plant grows a weeping, cascading form, growing six to eight metres. It is known commonly as the bahiagrass, the common bahia and the Pensacola bahia, while it is a tropical to subtropical, perennial grass, and it is known for its prominent, V-shaped inflorescence, and it is one of the most valued of the warm-season grasses of the Americas.
The bahiagrass belongs to the grass family, Poaceae, and it is a tropical to subtropical, perennial grass. It is known commonly as the bahiagrass, the common bahia and the Pensacola bahia, while it is known for its prominent, V-shaped inflorescence, and it is prized for its tough, creeping habit and its value as a warm-season grass.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The bahiagrass has a genuine and distinguished place in both agricultural and ecological research. It has been studied in the agriculture and the forage science, since it is one of the most valued of the warm-season grasses of the Americas, and researchers have examined its growth, its yield and its value as a forage and a pasture grass, while the bahiagrass has been a valued grass of the warm pastures and the lawns, and its value has drawn attention in the international agricultural and forage press. The grass has also been studied in the ecology and the turf science, since it is a tropical to subtropical, perennial grass, and researchers have examined its growth, its tolerance of the warm, the dry and the sandy conditions and its role in the warm pasture and the lawn community, while the tough, creeping habit of the grass, holding the soil of the warm and the sandy lands, has been of continuing interest, and its value in the warm lawn and the turf has been examined. The species has also been studied in the botany, since it is a member of the grass family, and its classification and its relationships have been examined, while the study of the grasses and their many species has been of continuing interest, and the distinctive, V-shaped inflorescence of the grass has been examined. For a grass of such value, the bahiagrass has a rich and distinguished record of research.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
Ecologically, the bahiagrass is a hardy grass of the warm lands. Its tough, creeping tufts hold the soil of the warm, the dry and the sandy lands, and its distinctive flower heads feed the insects and the small birds, while it is a valued presence in the pastures, the lawns and the roadsides of the warm Americas.
Its economic value is real. The bahiagrass is one of the most valued of the warm-season grasses of the Americas, prized for its value as a forage and a pasture grass, and its value has drawn attention in the international agricultural and forage press, while it is also valued for the soil-holding and the erosion control in the warm and the sandy lands. For a grower, the bahiagrass is a hardy and rewarding grass, and for a gardener in a warm region it brings tough, creeping tufts and a sturdy, warm-season cover. The seeds are easy to start — sow them in moist, free-draining soil in a warm, sunny spot, cover them lightly, keep them gently watered, and theyll be sprouting within a couple of weeks, growing on into a tough, creeping, warm-season grass.
