St. Augustine grass is not effectively propagated from stolons. St. Augustine grass stolons are much more prone to desiccation than most lawn grass; neither is St. Augustine grass established by hydromulching or broadcasting stolons. Some St. Augustine grass strains can be established from seed by planting at 1/3 to 1/2 pound of PLS per 1,000 square feet. That would be equivalent to 2 inch sod plugs planted on 1 foot spacings. A seeded St. Augustine grass lawn should be kept moist for several weeks after planting to obtain a satisfactory stand of grass. Only after the seedlings have begun to spread can the grass tolerate dry conditions. St. Augustine grass should be seeded in late spring to early summer. For more information, check out St. Augustine turfgrass websites or seedland's national websites. Unfortunately, you just might get this notice:
St. Augustine Grass SEED is NOT currently available - from any source in the USA. Keep checking and check other countries that ship.

I asked my lawn guy the same question. Apparently, St. Augustine grass is only available in pallets or as plugs.

I also looked for St. Augustine grass seeds on yahoo. It returns results on places that supposedly sell it but every time I go to the sites, I can't find it.

As some have suggested there is not any SEED FOR ST AUGUSTINE! you need to plant it via plugs(little plant life). I even have heard you could unfold "stolens" too. yet i don't be responsive to approximately that. St Augustine is a creeping grass. that's what's super approximately it. it is going to knit back jointly the holes that have come. basically wait and notice, water properly and upload good soil to the bare spots. St Augustine is likewise meant to pass dormant in chilly climate. right here in SoCal that basically ability it slows down plenty! no longer meaning to insult the asker. yet enable's study from our errors. And now all of us be responsive to that in the time of SoCal it is not a good suggestion to plant something in JULY! good luck :-)

I have always been told you have to buy squares It has "runners " like feelers reaching out as it grows and will fill in bald spots in the yard and is a hearty grass that can take the tough southern heat and tolerate a good freeze.You don't mention where in the world you wish to sod.I transplant my "runners" as needed to sections of my yard and my St. Augustine has gradually taken over my less dominant grass.You also can space your squares apart as they will fill in with time.I live in Mississippi .Not sure of your climate but good luck!!!!!!!!

No, sod or sprig only. Bermuda, fescue, and others can be seeded.
