Our summers are getting warmer, with heatwaves becoming more regular and longer-lasting. As many homeowners still long for lush, green grass during summer, more eyes must be on drought-tolerant grasses. So what types of grass make the most drought-tolerant lawn?
Bermudagrass and buffalograss top the list of warm-season grasses, while fescues are the best cool-season grasses for a drought-tolerant lawn. However, just because a lawn is drought-tolerant, it doesn’t mean it never needs watering. Even tough lawns may turn brown in summer and need moisture to keep them green. A drought-tolerant grass may just stay green for longer.
