You're not talking about the same grass. St. Augustine Floratam grass as we have here was developed at the U. of Florida for Florida lawns. We had crab grass in Pa in the 40's, many decades before this grass was developed.
I've had St. Augustine grass nearly all my life in Florida and now Zoysia. I'll take St. Augustine anytime. All winter long in my neighborhood the lawns all look like Yucca Flats. North of 466 they are all green.
