Season
Cool Season grasses are used
extensively though-out the Northern areas of the USA.
As with all cool season
grasses their best growth periods are in the Spring and Fall. Summer time and winter
brings on dormancy in these grasses. |
 |
Many of the cool season lawns planted in the North today are
cultivars of improved varieties of the three major cool season grasses -- i.e.:
Bluegrasses, Fescues & Perennial Ryegrass. These improved variety mixes work
together in special ratios of each grass to provide a better lawn in the various different
conditions that exist across many lawns.
