PENSACOLA BAHIA (COATED) 50#Pensacola Bahiagrass was discovered in the coastal Gulf of the Florida panhandle and has since grown into one of the major pasture grasses. This grass is a full sun, high heat, drought resistant, easily seeded establisher. It can grow in shadier conditions than most warm season grasses. Pensacola Bahia forms a dense, thick sod that can keep the weeds out and is very disease resistant with the mole cricket and army worms being the only pest problems.
