warm-season grasses
Warm-season grasses are types of grass that thrive in warmer temperatures, typically growing best when temperatures are between 80°F and 95°F. These grasses are commonly found in the southern regions of the United States and are well-suited for areas with hot summers. They enter their peak growth phase in late spring and summer, becoming dormant in cooler months.
Examples of warm-season grasses include Bermudagrass, Zoysiagrass, and Buffalograss. These grasses are often used for lawns, sports fields, and golf courses due to their durability and ability to withstand heat and drought. Proper care, including watering and fertilization, helps maintain their health and appearance.
