Cool & Warm Season Grasses
Many different lawn varieties grow well in Australia and they are classified as either Cool Season Grasses or Warm Season Grasses:
Cool Season Grasses are comfortable underfoot and often have a brilliant green colour. If watered during warm seasons, they’ll maintain this colour all year round.
- They thrive during the Spring and Autumn periods as they boom when the temperatures are lower than 25 degrees.
- They struggle more in the hotter months and can disappear over the Summer months, having less tolerance for high heat and drought.
Warm Season Grasses are summer hardy and are more wear resistant than cool season grasses, making them tougher and more able to be mowed lower. During cooler months they go into dormancy and can discolour.
- It’s a good idea to keep an eye on warm season grasses as some varieties will spread quickly to garden beds.
