Scotts® Viridian™ is an eco-friendly St. Augustine variety developed to flourish in Florida’s ever-changing climate and to make care easier for homeowners, property managers, and landscapers.

Viridian™ boasts lush, deep-green blades for a plush and full lawn look. With its increased resilience and thick canopy, pesky weeds and the occasional Florida droughts and cold snap are not major issues. Viridian even performs well in shaded areas, so you don’t have to sacrifice your shaded coverage. A thick canopy of blades makes it harder for weeds to sprout, and it can withstand weed control spot treatments as well. A relaxed growing schedule allows you to accomplish more of your landscaping projects.
