Scotts St. Augustine Grass Plugs for Dense Dark Green Turf, Low-Mowing ProVista Variety in 16, 32, or 64 Pack Sizes

St. Augustine grass plugs help establish dense, dark green turf with a fine texture and horizontal growth habit. The ProVista variety is described as suitable for full sun and moderate shade, with excellent heat and shade tolerance for lawn planting projects.

Each plug is approximately 3 inches by 3 inches. A 16-pack tray can cover up to 32 square feet when spaced 18 inches apart; closer spacing can speed coverage. Choose the 16-pack, 32-pack, or 64-pack according to the area you plan to plant.

To install, dig holes 6–18 inches apart, place each plug upright with the grass blades level with the ground, press it firmly into the soil, and water frequently for the first two weeks. After new growth appears, watering can be reduced to one or two times weekly as conditions require.
