CitraBlue® St. Augustine is a newer, improved turfgrass variety known for its rich blue green color and dense, carpet like growth. Compared to traditional St. Augustine, it has a deeper tone and a more refined texture, giving lawns a lush, high end appearance.

This grass forms a thick, uniform surface that holds up well to everyday use, making it a solid choice for family lawns, pet areas, or anywhere you want a full, healthy looking turf. It spreads by runners, allowing it to fill in bare spots and crowd out weeds over time.

One of the standout qualities of CitraBlue® is its improved drought tolerance and disease resistance, especially compared to older St. Augustine varieties. It also tends to maintain its color better through heat and seasonal stress, which is a big plus in warmer climates.

It grows best in full sun but can tolerate some light shade, particularly compared to other warm season grasses. Regular watering during establishment is important, but once established, it can handle periods of dryness better than many traditional lawn grasses.

CitraBlue® typically forms a low growing lawn surface around 3 to 6 inches tall depending on how it’s maintained. It is well suited for USDA zones 8 through 11 and performs best in warm climates. TThis plant has low toxicity and is generally a safe choice for gardens with pets and children.

It does not produce ornamental flowers, but provides a dense, functional ground layer.

It is not typically affected by deer or rabbits in the same way as ornamental plants, though heavy traffic from pets or wildlife can wear paths over time.

CitraBlue® St. Augustine is especially well suited for residential lawns, tropical landscapes, and modern outdoor spaces where a lush, durable turf is desired.

With its improved durability, rich color, and ability to fill in thickly, this is a great option for creating a healthy, attractive lawn that can handle real world use.
