carpetgrass
Creeping tropical groundcover
Carpetgrass is a creeping grass native to the Americas, grown for lawns and pastures in warm, moist climates.
It spreads by stolons to form a dense, low mat—hence the name.
The grass tolerates shade and poor soil but doesn't handle drought or heavy traffic well: The backyard was solid carpetgrass where nothing else would grow.
