Dallisgrass Seeds – Paspalum dilatatum (Dallas Grass)

Grow your own tough, fast-spreading grass with Dallisgrass seeds (Paspalum dilatatum), also known as Dallas Grass. Originally from South America, this hardy warm-season perennial grass thrives in hot, humid environments and is commonly used for pasture, erosion control, roadsides, and low-maintenance fields.

Dallisgrass is known for its deep green color, rapid growth, and excellent drought and heat tolerance once established — making it a practical choice for large landscapes where quick ground coverage is needed.

🌱 How to Plant Dallisgrass (Paspalum dilatatum) Seeds:

  1. When to Plant:

    • Best planted in late spring to early summer when soil temperatures are consistently above 65°F (18°C).

  2. Sowing Seeds:

    • Broadcast seeds evenly over prepared soil.

    • Lightly rake in or press seeds into the soil surface — do not bury deeply.

  3. Germination:

    • Seeds germinate in 7–21 days under warm, moist conditions.

  4. Sunlight:

    • Prefers full sun, but tolerates partial shade.

  5. Soil:

    • Grows well in clay, loamy, or sandy soils.

    • Tolerates heavy, wet soils better than many other grasses.

  6. Watering:

    • Keep soil evenly moist until established.

    • Once mature, Dallisgrass is drought-tolerant, but it benefits from periodic watering during extreme dry spells.

  7. Mowing (optional):

    • If used for pasture or turf, mow regularly to encourage dense growth and prevent seeding.

🌿 Bonus Tip: Dallisgrass spreads aggressively via seeds and short rhizomes, so it’s best suited for pasture, erosion control, or non-formal lawns rather than manicured turf settings.

Hardy, adaptable, and fast-growing, Dallisgrass (Dallas Grass) is a smart choice for pasture lands, large-scale erosion control projects, and low-maintenance fields in warm climates.

What Does Dallisgrass Look Like?

Dallisgrass looks similar to many different grasses although it often has a lighter shade of green and it’s much less attractive in a home lawn. If you’re seeing a different colored, coarse grass growing in a circular clump that has long and thick stems, you’re likely looking at Dallisgrass.

Dallisgrass can often end up looking separated…

Often a bunch of Dallisgrass will grows so big that it strangles the center of itself which creates some space. This is why you’ll often see your own turf grass in the center of a Dallisgrass clump.

5 Things to Look for in Identifying Dallisgrass
It looks like grass and grows in clumps
Long stems
Dallisgrass produces a ton of seeds
Prominent mid vein in the leaf
Broad, flat blades that spread out
Other Features of Dallisgrass
Dallisgrass has no auricles.
Dallisgrass reproduces rhizomes. Rhizomes are the stems which usually grow horizontally under the soil.
It has a split sheath and a continuous collar.
Why Is It Important to Identify Dallisgrass Correctly?
Other than the fact that it’s nice to know what weeds you have growing in your yard, correct identification is essential to eliminate any weed you may have.

The different weeds you may find in your lawn can be classified into three categories. These are…

Annuals
Bi-annuals
Perennials
It’s important to correctly categorize your weeds because some of the selective herbicide products you might see at the store are only going to work on the annual and bi-annual weeds and NOT the perennials.

If you apply the wrong product you, it won’t take care of the problem and it could end up hurting your turfgrass.

When Are You Likely to See Dallisgrass?
Dallisgrass tends causes problems largely in warm season areas and in the transition zone.

Dallisgrass is much better than all turf types at tolerating heat and drought conditions which can help it spread out and really take over in your yard.

If your turf becomes thin for any reason, it’s going to be more susceptible to Dallisgrass and it’s going to take a lot of work to get it under control.

How to Get Rid of Dallisgrass?
First of all, it’s worth mentioning that there’s no magic product that’s going to eliminate all of the weeds in your lawn. While some weeds are easier to control than others, it’s important to maintain realistic expectations with weed control. If you’ve got a lawn overcrowded with weeds, the problem isn’t going to be fixed overnight, especially if you have Dallisgrass.

Dallisgrass is one of the most difficult weeds to control; it’s going to survive most treatment applications whether you’re treating it yourself or getting professional help because it has an extremely robust root system.
Since Dallisgrass is a perennial, it doesn’t re-germinate every spring so you can’t control it with pre-emergent. While it will go through a dormancy period in the winter, the same plant is going to keep coming back each year.

Diggigng it up
The first way to get rid of Dallisgrass is to dig it up. You’re going to dig at least five or six inches down into the soil to fully get rid of it.

The problem is that most things you can spray to kill Dallisgrass will also kill your turfgrass too.

It really depends on your turf type…
If you have a Bermuda lawn, there are some selective herbicides you can spray to knock it out without harming the Bermuda grass while in a fescue lawn there’s really nothing that’s going to kill Dallisgrass that won’t also kill Fescue. You’re just going to have to use multiple applications of roundup over the course of a few weeks and hope it doesn’t come back. You’ll want to spray the crown with a pretty high concentration which may leave a brown spot in your lawn. You’ll kill the surrounding grass too but you won’t harm your soil.

If you do have a Bermuda lawn, the best time to spray for Dallisgrass will be when the Bermuda is just beginning to go into dormancy.

Dallisgrass Is Often Misidentified as Crabgrass (and vice versa)
Crabgrass and Dallisgrass regularly get mixed up because they do look quite similar to one another however the treatment is different so it’ important you make a correct distinction between the two. The last thing you want to do is take the wrong course of action on a weed that won’t work.

How to Tell the Difference Between Dallisgrass and Crabgrass
While Dallisgrass has much longer blades than crabgrass, the best way to tell the difference between crabgrass and dallisgrass is to look at the seed heads.

Dallisgrass seed heads look like tiny caterpillars and shoot off horizontally to the stem. Crabgrass seed heads shoot up vertically.

But what if your crabgrass doesn’t have seed heads?

You can also tell the difference between crabgrass and dallisgrass by looking at the root system. You’ll need to pull up some of the plant to look at this.

Dallisgrass roots have tiny ribs, if your weed doesn’t have that these then you know you’ve got a crabgrass plant.

While dallisgrass is a perennial, crabgrass is an annual!

Crabgrass germinates every spring and it dies off in the winter so the best way we can prevent crabgrass is by putting down pre-emergent early in the spring to keep the most of it from ever getting established.

Dallisgrass can be identified as a coarse-textured, robust, clumping, perennial grassy weed. It features a tall, rounded ligule and a smooth, broad collar. The sheaths are compressed with a prominent mid-vein that is sometimes hairy. Dallisgrass features flat blades with sparse hairs near the ligule, plus its blade edges are rough—even though both surfaces are smooth. This lawn weed also has a seed head that is produced on a terminal stalk reaching up to 5 feet in height. The seed head includes three to five spikes branching from the center, with each spike measuring 2 to 4 inches long and containing four rows of spikelets. Dallisgrass reproduces by very short rhizomes and seeds in the summer.

Life Cycle

This grassy weed prefers marshes and damp to wet habitats that are developed or disturbed by civilization. It frequently grows in pastures, lawns, golf courses and other turf areas. In the United States, Dallisgrass commonly grows in states that fall in the humid subtropical climate zone. These perennial grassy weeds can germinate and spread from seeds, but they also produce a root structure (tubers, bulbs or corms) that can birth new weeds from your lawn’s surface (using stolons) or from underground (using rhizomes). Perennial grassy weeds live two or more years and have a deeper root structure that can give rise to new weeds—even if you no longer see the weeds in your lawn.

Life Cycle Image

Control

It is possible to remove Dallisgrass through cultural control methods—such as hand-pulling lawn weeds or proper watering and mowing—however, these methods are time-consuming. Still, these cultural weed control practices are highly recommended for getting rid of Dallisgrass in your lawn and landscaping. This is due to the limited number of options to kill this grassy weed.

Daikon Radish (Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus) from Seed: crisp roots, cool soils, clean pulls 400 seeds

WJHEDECD - NEW

$9.00 Save $-9.00

Daikon Radish (Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus): crisp roots, cool soils, clean pulls

TL;DR

Direct sow shallow in cool weather, thin early, and keep moisture steady. Loose, stone-free soil grows long, smooth roots. Harvest on time to avoid pithiness; rinse and chill quickly. This is a home-growing guide; not medical advice.

Quick Definition

Daikon is a fast, cool-season radish bred for long, juicy storage roots. It prefers loose soil, even moisture, and prompt harvest. Many growers also use it as a bio-till cover crop to break surface compaction.

At-a-glance Facts

  • What it is: Cool-season root radish in Brassicaceae.
  • Flavor: Mild to peppery-sweet; sweeter in cool soil and when harvested on time.
  • Best moments: Sunny beds with cool temperatures and steady moisture.
  • Grow basics: Direct sow 6–12 mm deep; thin to 10–20 cm; keep evenly moist; harvest before roots get woody.
  • Pairs with: Raised beds, fine tilth, drip lines, light compost mulch.
  • Safety flags: Brassica sap may irritate sensitive skin; rinse roots well. Whole roots ≠ extracts; this guide does not recommend ingesting essential oils.
  • Storage: Trim leaves, keep roots uncut in breathable bags in the crisper.

Who it’s for / Who should skip

Who it’s for

  • Cool-season gardeners who can water evenly and harvest on time.
  • Growers with loose, deep soil or tall containers.
  • Kitchen folks who like crisp, juicy roots for salads, pickles, and stocks.

Who should skip

  • Hot, dry plots without irrigation or shade cloth.
  • Very stony or compacted soils that fork roots.
  • Set-and-forget growers; daikon wants thinning and punctual harvests.

Decision criteria

  • Choose it if you can provide cool growing weather and steady moisture.
  • Choose it if your soil is loose and stone-free to good depth.
  • Skip it if your season is hot with warm nights and erratic watering.
  • Skip it if you can’t thin promptly to final spacing.

Grow Basics

  • Light: Full sun in cool weather; bright partial sun in warm spells.
  • Soil: Fine, stone-free loam; deep loosened layer prevents forking.
  • Beds & spacing: Sow in rows 25–35 cm apart (≈ 10–14 in); thin plants to 10–20 cm (≈ 4–8 in) depending on cultivar size.
  • Containers: Deep tubs 30–40 cm (≈ 12–16 in) minimum, filled with airy mix.
  • Watering: Keep evenly moist. As a starting rhythm, 700–1200 ml (≈ 3–5 cups) per row meter every 1–2 days in mild weather; adjust by soil feel.
  • Mulch: 1–2 cm fine compost to stabilize moisture and reduce crusting.

Sowing steps

  1. Prepare bed: Remove stones and break clods; rake to a fine tilth.
  2. Sow: Drill seeds 6–12 mm deep (≈ 1/4–1/2 in), then firm lightly.
  3. Moisture: Water gently to settle. Keep surface consistently damp until emergence.
  4. Thin: First to 5–8 cm, then to 10–20 cm as roots size. Use thinnings as micro-greens.
  5. Weed: Keep rows clean; shallow hoeing protects shoulders near the surface.

Care routine

  • Water: Even, deep moisture prevents pithiness and splitting.
  • Feeding: Compost at prep is usually enough; avoid heavy nitrogen that boosts tops over roots.
  • Shade cloth: In warm snaps, a light cover reduces stress and bolting.

Harvest

  • Timing: Harvest when roots are full-sized yet still tender. Over-mature roots can get pithy or sharp.
  • Method: Loosen soil with a fork beside the row and pull straight up to avoid snapping.
  • Trim: Remove leaves to 1–2 cm to slow moisture loss. Do not cut root tips for storage.
  • Rinse & chill: Rinse soil off and chill promptly for crunch.

Taste & Habit Tuning

  • Too spicy or fibrous? Harvest earlier and water more evenly.
  • Forked roots? Remove stones, loosen deeper, and avoid transplanting.
  • Cracking? Prevent soak-dry cycles; keep moisture steady.
  • Bolting? Sow earlier or later for cooler windows; add light shade in warm spells.

Rituals

  • Row check: feel soil at 5–7 cm depth; water before it dries out.
  • Thin-and-taste: sample a young root to judge timing for the rest.
  • Clean pull day: harvest, trim leaves, rinse, and box for the crisper.

Sourcing & Quality

  • Botanical clarity: Labeled Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus; cultivars vary in length and girth.
  • Seed condition: Clean, uniform; avoid musty packets.
  • Packaging: Paper sachets or tins with clear variety and lot.

Storage (harvested roots)

Trim leaves to 1–2 cm, keep roots whole and unpeeled, place in breathable bags in the refrigerator crisper. For longer storage, pack in slightly damp sand in a cool place. Rinse before use.

Comparison Table

  • Daikon radish: Long, mild-crisp roots; cool-season; needs loose soil.
  • Red globe radish: Small, quick roots; sharper bite; less depth needed.
  • Turnip: Brassica root; sweeter, earthy; similar cool-season timing but different flavor/texture.

Safety

Gardening guidance only; not medical advice.

  • Contact sensitivity: Brassica sap may irritate; wash hands if sensitive.
  • Food hygiene: Rinse roots well; clean tools and boards.
  • Concentrates: Whole roots are not the same as extracts or essential oils; this guide does not recommend ingesting concentrates.

FAQ

  1. Direct sow or transplant? Direct sow. Transplants often fork.
  2. How deep to sow? 6–12 mm (≈ 1/4–1/2 in) with even surface moisture.
  3. How far apart? Thin to 10–20 cm (≈ 4–8 in) depending on target root size.
  4. Why are roots pithy? Heat, drought, or over-maturity. Harvest earlier and keep moisture steady.
  5. Why do roots crack? Irregular watering; avoid sudden heavy irrigations after dryness.
  6. Can I grow in containers? Yes, if the container is 30–40 cm deep with loose, stone-free mix.

Expedited / Rush Shipping 

Expedited shipping is available for many items. Please message us through our chat feature with which product you are interested in rushing and we will let you know the fees involved. 

Unclaimed, Stolen & Returned Packages

  • Any shipment that is refused or cannot be delivered AND is returned by the carrier will be considered an unauthorized return.
  • If a package is returned to us because it was unclaimed by the customer, the customer must pay return shipping charges. We provide tracking numbers via email and/or via order status link on our homepage. It is the customer’s responsibility to track the package and be aware of its whereabouts.
  • If a package is stolen from the client’s porch/apartment complex and the client has not paid a $3 signature required fee than the fault lies on the client and we will not reimburse. It is the responsibility of the client to follow tracking numbers which are emailed prior to packages leaving our warehouse. If a $3 fee was paid we will file a claim with the shipper and re-ship products as soon as possible.

Changing a Delivery Address ( USA & INTERNATIONAL)

  • Once an order has shipped, any change of address will be subject to a 20% fee plus applicable taxes. This is due to a minimum change of address fee charged by nearly all courier and freight companies. Billing information will also need to be re-verified if you are changing your delivery address. 

DELIVERY & RECEIPT OF ORDER

  • Your package may or may not require a signature. Most packages are delivered to the mailbox or front door of the address provided, however, it is up to the delivery courier to decide if the package is safe being left in the open. If they deem it unsafe, they will hold the package at a local post office or re-schedule another delivery. Our best recommendation is to input a shipping address where you know you or someone else will be available to accept the package (a work address or a friend's address). 
  • You are responsible for inspecting the shipment during delivery by the shipping company for damages, both obvious and hidden. You will accept the delivery and note on the delivery receipt for any damages or concerns. If the item is damaged beyond the point of being in working or usable condition, please refuse delivery and immediately notify The Rike. We will work with the shipping provider to replace the item for you.
  • Failure to notate any defects could result in a significant reduction in the carrier’s liability during damage claims. You are responsible for filing any loss or damage claims in the manner and time frame directed by the carrier. You are responsible for any concerns, issues, or charges for the shipments and agree to hold The Rike, its suppliers, and its vendors harmless.
  • Shipping companies do not allow third-parties to file or get involved in a damage claim. The Rike is a third party in the shipment of most of the items it sells. The Rike will willingly assist you with the filing and handling of the claims based on your needs and requests.
  • While we cannot guarantee or be held responsible for products lost or damaged in transit due to the performance of our carriers, we will assist our customers in any deficiency in third-party shipping services. All orders are therefore insured for the value of the shipment by the third-party service.

PROBLEM REPORTING

  • Problems or concerns must be reported by email to The Rike within 15 days of receipt of the item. If you call to report an item damaged in transit we do not consider the report official until we have confirmation of damages and have sent you a confirmation email.
  • Any reports of malfunction may require a detailed inspection report from a qualified technician. You agree to cooperate with problem identification and correction efforts.
  • You agree to abide by The Rike’s decisions regarding problem resolution.

Holiday Schedule

We do not ship orders on the following US holidays:

  • New Year's Day
  • Memorial Day
  • Independence Day
  • Labor Day
  • Thanksgiving and the following Friday
  • Christmas Day
