The Florida extension office put on a very informative seminar in March that was all about Provista St Augustine grass. Here is the doctors information if you would like to verify.

Unfortunately, in reality not true. I have the ProVista St. Augustine and I see stress and wilt in area if I’m only doing 3/4” once a week. I’m currently watering 3x a week and it’s keeping it from wilting and looks fabulous. As soon as I drop back to two days, it immediately gets stressed again. Come on rainy season!!
