Raleigh St. Augustine is a cold-hardy St. Augustine variety that holds up better than most St. Augustine types during hard North Texas winters. While Palmetto leads in shade tolerance, Raleigh offers a stronger option for partially shaded yards that also face occasional freeze events that damage less cold-tolerant grasses.
Raleigh produces a medium-broad blade with good density and a deep green color when properly watered. It still requires partial shade and consistent irrigation - Raleigh is not a full-sun grass and will struggle in open Dallas lots the same way Bermuda struggles under trees.
