I don't recall the exact flavor of Centipede but it was not in the north - it was southern GA. 3 inches is well outside the recommended growing height of 1.5-2 inches. All of the centipede lawns where I lived needed cutting weekly.

There is a lawn in Fruitland Park that has been Centipede for over 30 years. He never fertilizes or waters and when he mows it once a year, it is around 3 inches tall...prior to mowing.
