St. Augustine grass is a cold-hardy St. Augustine grass cultivar first discovered on a lawn in Raleigh North Carolina and released to the public by North Carolina State University in 1980. It has a medium green color with a coarse texture. It is susceptible to chinch bugs and brown patch disease. This variety of St. Augustine grass is tolerant of lower temperatures. During peak summertime heat, Raleigh has been noted to yellow and not grow as aggressively as during cooler temperatures. Supplemental iron applications can reduce this yellowing tendency.
