Sea Spray Paspalum is the first commercially available seeded Seashore Paspalum, developed by Pure Seed Testing with the University of Georgia. Featuring waxy, medium-fine blades, Sea Spray Paspalum exhibits a vibrant blue-green color and a dense, visually appealing turf. It thrives in warm-season environments with ample sunlight and moderate humidity. This variety stands out for its outstanding salt and waterlogging tolerance, making it ideal where other grasses fail. Adaptable to a wide soil pH range (4.5–9.0), Sea Spray Paspalum thrives in sandy or clay soils—including recycled or seawater irrigation.
It tolerates flood conditions and sustains activity under moderate shade (~40%). Establishment through seed simplifies installation compared to vegetative-only paspalum types; plugs, sprigs, and sod are also viable. Mowing is recommended at 1.5–5 cm with sharp blades, maintaining a neat turf with minimal disease incidence and weed invasion. Sea Spray Paspalum offers top-tier durability, quick establishment, and low input needs—ideal for golf courses, coastal lawns, sports facilities, and erosion-sensitive landscapes.
