Paspalum blodgettii
Also called Coral Paspalum
Blodgett's crowngrass (Paspalum blodgettii), also called coral paspalum, is a perennial grass native to tropical America, from southeastern Mexico and Central America to the Greater Antilles and southern Florida. It is a wild grass with little horticultural use, so care details are general and based on how related paspalums grow.
Paspalum blodgettii, with no dominant English name, though sometimes called Blodgett's paspalum, coral paspalum and more, is a species of grass occurring in the American tropics. It belongs to the family Poaceae.
Paspalum blodgettii occurs in southeastern Mexico, in Central America south to Honduras, and the Greater Antilles. In the USA it occurs in southern Florida, and apparently there's a disjunct population in Panamá.
