How To Care For Centipede Grass Lawns
- Centipede should be planted at the same time of year as other warm season grasses, but it has some special requirements for proper maintenance.
- Do not re-seed centipede lawns with annual or perennial ryegrass. This could weaken the root
system and cause a partial or total loss of stand.
- Centipede needs less fertilizer than the other warm season grasses. On established lawns, use a
complete lawn food that is specifically made for centipede and contains little or no phosphorus, such 18-0-18. A light application in the spring and again in late summer should be all that is required.
- If weeds are a problem, use a centipede weed and feed in the spring
- A low nitrogen winterize fertilizer
may be used in the fall to help strengthen centipede’s root
system.
