Paspalum floridanum (Native)

Habitat: Florida paspalum is commonly found growing in grassy areas and wood openings, with low, moist, sandy soil and along fresh or brackish marshes. Common in the Coastal Plain and Piedmont; rare in the mountains.

Wildlife value: Produces an abundance of large grain-like seed which is eaten by birds including quail, dove, and turkey. Wildlife,
especially game birds, use for both food and cover. Seeds mature over an extended period of time, with an initial flush in late August and continuing until frost, providing wildlife with a dependable source of food from late summer into winter.
