Question:
My St. Augustine lawn is in horrible condition so I'm considering overseeding with Raleigh St. Augustine. How should this variety perform in Houston? For future reference, assuming that I'm able to successfully grow this variety from seed, is it tolerant of selective post emergent herbicides such as Ortho Weed-b-gon?

Answer:
Raleigh St Augustine should grow in Houston just fine and can be safely treated with the herbicide you mention. However, I do not know where you are going to get seed for this turfgrass. While St Augustine does produce seed, it is not commonly marketed because of the cost of harvesting. I have never seen any offered for sale.
