  Florida has more than 4 million acres of turfgrass, which shows how much people here value a green outdoor space. Keeping that space healthy is another story. Strong sun, sandy soil, and watering limits can wear down even a well-kept yard. That is where TifTuf Bermuda Grass  earns its place. It looks fine and rich, it stands up to daily use, and it needs far less water than you might expect. What Makes TifTuf Different TifTuf came out of a long breeding program at the University of Georgia. The goal was a Bermuda that stays green through dry spells without giving up its good looks.

 Florida has more than four million acres of turfgrass, and much of it covers home yards. Among those lawns, Floratam Grass has been a steady favorite for decades.

Once you understand how it grows, caring for it gets much simpler.

It spreads through above-ground runners, so it fills thin spots on its own over time. Star Turf Farms grows Floratam alongside CitraBlue and Palmetto, which makes it easy to compare St. Augustine options before you buy.
