What is Lethal Viral Necrosis (LVN)?
Lethal Viral Necrosis, commonly known as LVN, is a threat to Floratam lawns in South Florida. Palmetto St. Augustine is one of the few varieties of St. Augustine grass designated by the University of Florida as LVN resistant. If your Floratam lawn has been killed by LVN, Palmetto St. Augustine is an option for replacement, but be wary of unscrupulous parties selling other St Augustine grasses and representing to unsuspecting homeowners that it is Palmetto when, in fact, it is not.
