Paspalum dilatatum is a clump-forming, perennial grass with clustered stems arising from very short, creeping rhizomes. The stems are erect to ascending, growing 30 - 180cm tall and producing new roots at the nodes when in contact with the soil. The roots can descend as much as 120cm into the soil
For established paspalum watering deep and infrequent is best. Water every 2-3 days during the growing season and apply an inch of water per week.
Decide on a desired length for the turf. Continue to mow maintaining this height so that no more than 1/3 the height is being mowed off at one time.
It grows best in areas where annual daytime temperatures are within the range 20 - 30°c, but can tolerate 13 - 36°c
