Warm, Transition or Cool Season Grass?
If you’re new to lawn maintenance, the first thing to consider when selecting grass for your lawn is whether you need warm-season grass or cool-season grass.
Cool-season grasses thrive in temperatures ranging from 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit, While
warm-season grasses flourish when the temperature ranges between 80 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
Because Texas has such a broad range of temperatures throughout the state, your choice may vary based on your location.
Heat and drought resistant grass varieties
Warm-season grasses thrive in climates with temperatures ranging from 80 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. It is most typically seen in Texas and other warm-climate areas, both humid and dry. These grasses are typically found around the Gulf of Mexico.
Warm-season grass care suggestions:
Transition-zone
Transitional zones cover places where temperatures rapidly increase or decrease. Because grass will be exposed to both cool and warm temperatures in the transition zone, the variety that you choose must have a higher tolerance to grow. If you live in northern Texas, you should probably plant transitional or cooler season grass.
