Seashore Dropseed plant named ‘BT-1’

Abstract

A novel seashore dropseed ( Sporobolus virginicus ) cultivar (‘BT-l’) is disclosed. The ‘BT-1’ cultivar is characterized by enhanced turf quality under mown and high traffic stress conditions; improved, darker green leaf color; lower growth habit; denser, more tightly knit sod; low mow height tolerance; finer-textured leaf blades; and increased saline and drought tolerance.

We claim:  
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of seashore dropseed plant, substantially as herein illustrated and described, characterized by its enhanced turf quality under mown and high traffic stress conditions; improved, darker green leaf color; lower growth habit; denser, more tightly knit sod; low mow height tolerance; finer-textured leaf blades; and superior tolerance to saline, drought, and shade conditions.
