Get Only The SOD You Need

Shade-tolerant variety of St. Augustine great for home and general commercial use

Shade St. Augustine is Island Turf's shade-tolerant variety of St. Augustine and one of our best-selling varieties.

  • Bright green color that survives in shaded areas
  • Wide blades with a finer texture

This variety has wide blades and a bright green color that allows for the plant to survive in more shaded areas. It also survives well in full sunlight, so Shade is a great variety if you have large shaded trees or a shade that extends over your sodded areas.

Since Shade is a dwarf St. Augustine, the blades have a finer texture.

This variety is great for home and general commercial use.
