Cool-season grasses grow most actively in the
cooler months of spring and fall. Their bright,
fresh foliage makes them excellent choices
for early spring and late fall sales, and they
can extend the season as lush container plantings.
Growth slows in the heat of summer, and
some species enter dormancy; however, fall
brings new growth. Heat tolerance varies with
species, and some do best in shade. Check individual
listings for details.
