Most herbs used for planting grass seed and turf used on landscapes of grass are separated between the two groups. You have your warm-season grasses, herbs and your cool season. Warm season grasses do well in sun-drenched areas where hot climates, like Bermuda grass, zoysia grass, and r. augustine grass. In fact, grasses such as these are from tropical regions of the globe and you will find many of these grasses grown in the southern United States in the
Cool-season grasses thrive in the sunlight too, but grow well in areas where temperatures tend to be cooler. Many of these grasses can be found to the north of the United States, but various species of fresh grass of the season can be used to overseed warm-season grasses during the cold months of winter.
The Bermuda grass (warm season)
This is a grass that grows vigorously swordsman and bonds strongly to the soil surface using skates with surface stolons and underground rhizomes. All varieties require a lot of sun and must be cut down. The Bermuda grass looks best when growth of stubble is well maintained. Because of its strong growth, the Bermuda grass is incredibly drought, heat, salt and traffic tolerance. There are many types of seeded bermuda, but all hybrids must be established from vegetative parts (SOD, stolons, and caps), but not from seed. Among the seeded varieties, common Bermuda is widely used, but newly developed seeds of grasses with bermuda grass hybrid features are accessible.
Zoysia Grass (hot season)
Zoysia grass can be difficult to establish because it is of slower growth and a long dormant season, but once established, it can produce a wonderful fine-textured canopy. It can be established by vegetative parts and also by seeds. Zoysia the most commonly encountered is actually a little grass lawn care whose leaf texture is comparable to those of Bermuda grass and Bermuda grass as, stolons and rhizomes forms. Mowed at ¾ to 1 ¼ inches. Zoysia leaves and stems are strong and rigid that it can handle a lot of traffic when it is increasingly well during the hot season. Due to the heat zoysia and drought tolerance, little water is needed for it grows well during the summer months. It is more shade tolerant than Bermuda grass, but only in places it remains relatively warm throughout the year. Zoysia grass works well with low-maintenance lawn where the slow establishment is not a concern.
St. Augustine Grass (hot season)
An exotic coarse grass with broad blades crawling along the ground using a shallow rooting system which makes it very easy to control the growth in unwanted areas. St. Augustine grass is salt tolerant and can grow well in shade, but it must be established by sod or plugs. Mow at ½ to 1 ½ inches.
Buffalo (hot season)
A meadow with a genuine warmth and good drought tolerance, and is mainly determined by the vegetative parts of the plant, but could be established by planting grass seed. Bison is a fine-textured grass that forms a dense turf that has a light green color. It does not tolerate salty or sandy soils and will not grow in the shade. Bison can be used for low-maintenance lawn at 2500-7000 m altitude and does not require much nitrogen or water. If a good amount of water is supplied, the bison can be cut to 1 ½ inches, however, for the maintenance of a lawn really low, mow to 2 ½ to 3 inches once a month during the summer.
Bent grass (cool season)
Bentgrass are high maintenance grasses that require attention to mowing, control of turf fertilizers, watering, and disease. All varieties have thin leaves and spread by stolons. With sufficient water and mowing close, they create beautiful lawns while in cold weather, but during the hot season, they are susceptible to attacks of the disease. Without proper care in removing thatch and mowing close, govern-runners on each other and form a thick grass cover unpleasant. Bentgrass does well in areas of high sunlight, but they can take partial shade and can be cut from ½ to ¾ inch.
Rye grass (cool season)
Perennial ryegrass is a medium coarse grass which is not difficult to grow in a wide range of climates and is also traditionally used for more seed warm-season grasses during the cold months. Perennial ryegrass can be cut as little as ¼ inch with special management, but if you use a rotary type mower, 1 ½ to 2 ½ inches is more suitable.
Annual ryegrass is lighter than perennial rye and has a wider leaf blade. Annual rye can not tolerate close mowing recurrent and is best suited to heights of 1 3/4 to 3 inches using a rotary type mower.
Tall fescue (cool season)
Tall fescue has leaves that are about as wide as annual ryegrass, but greener in color. It usually takes a floor stand true for root growth and good shade tolerance is reasonable. Tall fescue is well established from seed.
Kentucky Blue Grass (cool season)
Kentucky bluegrass has a good winter survival and the average heat and drought tolerance. It requires a good amount of care and adequate water and grows best when trimmed to heights of between 2 ½ to 3 inches. This herb is best suited to sunny conditions, however, some varieties have adequate shade tolerance.
