Yes! It’s called the “lazy man’s grass” because it requires very little maintenance, making it perfect for first-time lawn owners.
Can it handle shade?
Centipede prefers full sun but can tolerate light, partial shade. Heavy shade may cause thinning.

Much less than traditional grasses — usually every 2–3 weeks, thanks to its slow vertical growth.
