Axonopus compressus, commonly known as Carpet Grass, is a warm-season perennial grass valued for its dense, low-growing habit and ability to thrive in shady areas. Native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, it forms a lush, carpet-like turf, making it a popular choice for lawns, parks, and golf course roughs in warm climates. With its tolerance for poor soil and moderate foot traffic, Axonopus compressus provides green coverage in areas where other grass species struggle, adding natural beauty to landscapes.
