Need Help Choosing The Right Sod?
Perennial Peanut
Our ornamental rhizomal perennial peanut selection is a result of clients asking for a low maintenance alternative to grass for their yards and difficult sunny areas. We grow three varieties of Arachis glabrata: Ecoturf (most commonly requested), Brooksville 67 (also known as “Waxy Leaf”) and Brooksville 68 (with a more pointed leaf).
Once established Perennial sod offers true drought tolerance, no known pests, no need for supplemental nitrogen or phosphorous fertilizer and requires very little mowing. All of this in an aesthetically attractive hardy plant with green foliage and beautiful yellow-orange flowers!
Our most popular variety of ornamental peanut, Ecoturf, is used around homes, in highway medians, for erosion control and in water restricted areas amongst the many places. The only area we would not recommend ornamental peanut is in the shade. With proper care it will stay at about 4″ in height. This is a great turf grass alternative for Tampa, Sarasota and all of central Florida. Homeowners usually find our 1 gallon pots easiest to work with. We also sell perennial peanut in sod form, typically more suitable to larger projects and commercial applications.
WE ONLY SHIP LARGE QUANTITIES OF PERENNIAL PEANUT DIRECT TO WHOLESALERS AND FOR COMMERCIAL PURCHASES.
Homeowner 1 gallon sizes are available for carry out at our farm in central Florida, south of Tampa. We do not ship these small quantities.
Please call us if you have any questions.
