History of Centipede Grass
Originally found throughout southeast Asia, Centipede Grass was introduced to the U.S. market in 1916 by Frank N. Meyer from seeds collected throughout South China. Afterward, it became famous for landscaping applications throughout the southeastern United States due to its ability to thrive in the sandy and acidic soils commonly found throughout the area.
