Is Palmetto St. Augustine salt tolerant?
Palmetto St. Augustine can be used effectively in situations that present limited salt exposure. Palmetto performs very well in waterfront applications that receive overwash and spray from salt waters such as homes on barrier islands, beach fronts, and bay fronts. Caution should be used, however, when installing Palmetto in areas irrigated with salt contaminated water. Palmetto should never be used in applications where the primary irrigation source is high in salt content (such as sea water).
