FAQ

Which type of grass is best for lawns?

Perennial grasses for lawns come in a wide variety these days. Here’s some of the best for your area:

• Cold climate grass zones 2 and up include: Legacy Buffalo Grass and Blue Grama Grass 
• Hottest climate grasses for zones 11 and lower include: UC Verde Buffalo Grass
• Mid-range zones 5 and 6 grasses include: Prestige Buffalo Grass and Zenith® Zoysia Grass 

Are there any evergreen Ornamental Grasses?

Unfortunately, no grass is truly evergreen, although many ornamental grasses retain their flower and seed heads all winter. This gives you four-season interest, even in winter, along with flowing tanned fronds.

Tall Fescue Lawn Grass is one of the few partially evergreen grasses zones 8 and lower can tolerate. However, it can take a break in extremely cold winters and periods of heat and drought.

Do Ornamental Grasses need to be cut back every year?

Ornamental grasses do die back and protect the crown from the chill with their own foliage. To create a clean look for spring and prevent the crown from being choked out by debris, cut ornamental grasses back to a few inches above the ground in early spring. 

Wrap the fronds with a bungee cord or twine before cutting to make cleanup a breeze.
