Raleigh grass is a variety of St. Augustine grass that is specifically known for its improved cold tolerance, making it suitable for regions where temperatures can drop lower than typical St. Augustine grass varieties can handle. It is highly favored for its adaptability to both sun and partial shade, as well as its resistance to pests and disease. Raleigh grass has a fine to medium texture and a rich, vibrant green color. As with other St. Augustine varieties, it has a relatively dense growth pattern, though it generally performs best with adequate water and nutrients. Its resistance to cold makes it an excellent choice for homeowners and landscapers in areas with mild winters.
