A farmer friend of mine (bless his heart he is guilty of never reading the fine print) bought some from a magazine and they sent it to him. It was advertised as some "government developed" supergrass. His front yard had always been a mess of weeds so he tilled it up. He showd me what it was and I snickered inside but told him I would do my best to help plant it. Well we got it planted and after keeping the chickens and geese and other critters off the lawn, it looked worse than a 50 dollar hair implant. Plugs at the end of the year had not grown together. Neither after year 2. Finally after year 3, they had finally manged to meet. But during this time, this grass had destroyed 3 pushowers and no telling how many blades. Finally after five years, it looks good but keeping a sharp blade on your mower is key or it will rip the grass to shreds. A good reelmower is really needed to do the job right. This was a N. GA climate. 250 miles south it grows slightly faster where I live now and makes a fine lawn, although a little bristly for my taste if you ever like to go out and sit and read under a favorite tree.
