Centipede was introduced by seed from China in 1919. Medium in texture with a pale to medium green color, Centipede is a slow-growing but highly aggressive grass that can be depended upon to produce a good, dense, relatively weed-free turf at low maintenance levels. In spite of their aggressiveness, Centipede is easily controlled and usually require edging only once a year around walks and flowerbeds.
