Paspalum quadrifarium

Tussock paspalum is a sun-loving herbaceous perennial native to open habitats, commonly found in meadows and grasslands. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun.

Tussock paspalum is quite adaptable to heat, able to withstand higher temperatures and substantial temperature fluctuations. In hot weather, attention should be paid to watering and providing suitable shade to prevent sunburn. Conversely, tussock paspalum has limited tolerance for low temperatures. While it can endure some cold, severely low temperatures can cause frost damage.

Tussock paspalum needs extra nutrients to encourage healthy new growth. In spring, putting compost around the base of the plant can effectively supply the nutrition it requires. Fertilizing helps support vigorous growth and aids the plant in resisting diseases and pests.
