Centipedegrass (Eremochloa ophiuroides) is a warm season lawn grass that is thick sod forming, uniform hugs the ground growth spreading by stolons, and medium to light green colored. It has a coarse texture with short upright seedhead stems that grow to about 3-5 inches. Centipedegrass is a low maintenance grass. It requires infrequent mowing. Centipedegrass has medium shade tolerance and limited traffic tolerance. When healthy, this full sun and slightly shade tolerant grass is aggressive enough to choke out weeds and other grasses. Centipede can also be considered a weed.
