Pennington Centipede Grass Seed & Mulch

The BIO-170 organic mulch acts as a protective layer that retains moisture and stabilizes the soil, which significantly improves germination rates and helps the seedlings establish roots faster than they would on their own.

Centipede grass is a warm-season perennial that thrives in the southern United States. It is best suited for regions with long, hot summers and mild winters, as it does not tolerate prolonged freezing temperatures.

Centipede is known as a 'lazy man's grass' because it is slow-growing and has a low vertical growth habit. You will find yourself mowing much less frequently compared to fescue or Bermuda varieties, and it naturally resists many common lawn weeds.

This blend is designed for full sun to light shade. While it performs best in direct sunlight, it will tolerate partial shade, though you may notice the turf becomes slightly less dense in areas with heavy tree cover.

The ideal planting window is during the spring or early fall when soil temperatures are consistently warm. Avoid planting during the peak heat of summer or when there is a risk of frost, as this can inhibit germination.
