Three types of warm season grasses.
Posted by Tiara,
There are 3 types of warm season grasses that are commonly used. Bermuda, zoysia and centipede grass. Both zoysia and Bermuda have had hybrids developed which will grow in colder areas. These two tend to turn brown very quickly at the first drop in temperature and are the first to green when the weather warms. Both Bermuda and centipede can be mown very close and Bermuda is often used on golf greens. Centipede is very low maintenance. It needs less mowing than the other 2 and can grow in salty soil. They all will remain green year round if the temperature is warm enough and can fare well in drought conditions.
