Drought Tolerant Grass – Nurturing Green Even in Dry Times

When temperatures soar and heat becomes relentless, we often find some parts of our gardens parched and wilting. It is here that drought tolerant grasses come to our rescue. Tolerant grasses are specially adapted to survive in hot, dry climates, allowing homeowners to enjoy green lawns even during dry times.

Nature has generously provided us with several species of drought tolerant grass. Some of the more popular varieties include warm-season grasses like Bermuda grass, Zoysia grass and Buffalo grass; and cool season grasses like Perennial Ryegrass, Bluegrass, and Fescue grass.

Cultivating drought tolerant grass is no rocket science. All that is needed is a patch of soil with good drainage, some organic matter and the right grass seed blend for the climate. Once the grass is planted, watering it two to three times per week should be enough, especially during the first few weeks. After that, the grass should be able to sustain itself with natural rainfall and still look green even during dry spells.

For maximum benefits of drought tolerant grass, limit your mowing to once or twice per month, depending on your climate and the species of grass. This will help protect the root-system and give your grass a chance to withstand drought and look lush and handsome.

For those of us who live in areas that experience prolonged dryness, there is no longer need to stress about our lawns browning and drying up. Drought tolerant grasses can keep our lawns green and happy even in dry times, allowing us to make the most of hot summers and bask in the beauty of an inviting and well-groomed garden.
