"Florida is home to a plethora of plants, both native and non-native. Among these plants are several species of basketgrass, belonging to the genus Oplismenus, grass-like plants that thrive in the shady spots of our lawn. They grow where little else will, and their lush seasonal display, peaking in the fall, is something we think deserves some appreciation. Basketgrass, offers an excellent alternative for shady areas where our sun-loving traditional grasses struggle to thrive. This competitiveness should be embraced not combatted, in my opinion, as our traditional turfgrasses are not the right plant for these shady places. In a heavily shaded backyard, these turfgrass-like plants will create a lush, green, ground cover. In the fall, these plants reach their peak, transforming deep-shade areas into attractive, green carpets. Unfortunately, this lushness is largely seasonal, and the plants die off in the coldest months of the year. It does readily reseed and will be back by late spring." UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County
