Broadleaf Carpet Grass
Broadleaf carpet grass is also known by its scientific name, Axonopus compressus. It is a short perennial grass that grows in tropical and subtropical regions. It is a commonly cultivated lawn grass in the United States and Australia. It is known for its ability to suppress weeds, although in some cases it can become a weed itself. This grass grows best in full sunlight, but it can tolerate some shade. It requires a minimum rainfall of 30 inches per year. The leaves of a mature plant average heights of four to fifteen centimeters. This grass grows naturally in Mexico, South America, Central America, the South American tropics and the West Indies. Broadleaf carpet grass protects soil from erosion in commercial farms.
