DALLISGRASS Paspalum dilatatum

Dallisgrass can grow to a height of 2-4 feet tall and has a deep root system.
It spreads both vegetatively and by seeds. Dallisgrass has leaves 1/2 inch
in width that grow 4-10 inches in length. Under heavy grazing it tends to
form a thin sod, which makes it an excellent candidate for mixing clovers and
other legumes.
