Premium Grade Coated Carpetgrass Seeds are the ideal solution for creating a lush, weed-resistant lawn with minimal input. Native to the Gulf Coast region—from East Texas to Florida and as far north as Virginia—Carpetgrass is a creeping, warm-season perennial that forms a thick, weed-suppressing mat with rich green blades and signature two-branched seedstalks.
