Product Information
Argentine Bahia grass is very similar to St. Augustine in appearance with little to no seed sprout production like that of other bahia grass varieties. Argentine Bahia grass produces 10 to 12 feet of dense root structure allowing for low watering requirements. Combining low watering requirements with high insect and disease resistance, Argentine Bahiagrass is the most environmentally friendly lawn and pasture grass variety available for the warm season climates.
Argentine Bahia grass seed is commonly used for lawn and pasture applications across the southern United States including Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, North East Texas, and South West California.

Argentine Bahiagrass Mix - Spring & Summer Mix
75% Argentine Bahiagrass (Coated)
25% Browntop Millet
Our Spring & Summer Argentine grass seed mixture contains 75% Coated Argentine Bahiagrass and 25% Browntop Millet. The Browntop Millet is added to assist in fast ground coverage, retaining soil moisture and preventing soil and seed erosion. The Browntop Millet will also quickly establish an effective germination environment for the permanent Argentine Bahiagrass. The Browntop Millet will germinate in 5 to 7 days with adequate soil moisture and grow for approximately 65 days. During the Browntop millet’s 65 day growing cycle the permanent Argentine Bahiagrass will establish beneath the protective Browntop Millet’s coverage. It is very important to keep the newly seeded areas watered and mowed to prevent the Browntop Millet from overcrowding or shading out the young Argentine Bahiagrass seedlings. To insure a successful seeding and establishment experience please refer closely to the planting guide provided with your order.
Lawn Applications
New Lawns - 50 - 100 lbs. / acre
Over seeding an existing lawn - Bare spots can be easily filled in by spreading the area by hand or with a spreader. Remember after spreading the seed to lightly rake in the seed to cover no deeper than 1/4 inch. To properly over seed the entire lawn use 2 to 5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. after removing as much unwanted dead or living vegetation. Argentine Bahiagrass is commonly used to replace bare or insect damaged areas in Saint Augustine lawns in Florida.
Pasture Applications
New Pastures - Plant 50 to 100 lbs. per acre.
*The more seed applied to the lawn or pasture on the first planting the faster the lawn or pasture will fully establish a sod or grass base and prevent future over seeding to fill in bare spots.
Over seeding an existing pasture: Over seeding rates depend on the amount of established or existing grass in the pasture area. Common applications for over seeding are 25 - 50 lbs. per acre.
Pasture Fertilization: Apply 250 - 350 lbs. of 16-04-08 slow release fertilizer per acre in Late Spring, Mid Summer and Early Fall. Animals that are grazing will damage the Bahiagrass pasture if the pasture is not properly fertilized annually. The grass must be provided with adequate nutrients to compete with the animals.

United StatesI first bought 50 lbs. I spread it over my whole lawn. 28000 sq feet.) I spread it over existing ST Augustine because I have given up on St. Augustine. Bugs mold, and needing too much water, , No results except on a very small patch where om;y nillrt came up/ I das thought that I could plant over St A. I had not worked the soil I see no Bahia yet except on a very small patch. I will try ahain in winter but will need to talk to an expert first. Paul Lovestrand 407-332-6657.
When overseeding a St augustine lawn you have to make sure you get good seed to soil contact by dragging over the lawn once seeded. St Augustine is quite thick and it is sometimes very difficult to get that soil contact. Also make sure to remove any dead thatch. Also if overseeding I would use just straight argentine seed and not the millet mix. Just a few suggestions. If you have any further questions, please give us a call we are happy to help. Thank you for your review!

Happy to hear that you are having good results with the Argentine bahia grass seed mix! It will do great in SW Florida! Thank you for your review and for choosing Hancock Seed!
United StatesI ordered the special SW Florida seed with the hopes of growing grass on our front yard that was nothing but sand. First I put a 2 inch layer of top soil over the sand, seeded and covered with straw. Watered daily and after 6 days we had grass. The picture shows the yard after 9 days. Looks great!
Great! Happy to hear that you now have a front lawn! We are sure you will continue to love it! Thank you for your review and for choosing Hancock Seed!
