This unique blend of low-maintenance, low-water, drought-tolerant, perennial grasses is ideally suited to your region. Once established, you'll have a handsome lawn that can be grown long or mown trim, but unlike a conventional lawn it will only need mowing only once or twice a year. These cool-season fescue grasses grow most actively in spring and fall in your region. It may go dormant during the peak of summer heat, but once the grasses are fully established, these grass species' deep, dense root system will require little to no watering. Once it has filled out it will also naturally inhibit weed growth, eliminating the need for herbicides. Moderate foot traffic is no problem for these grasses, although it is best to let the grass fill in the gaps before heavy use.
