8 Cool Season Grasses For Your Lawn

Here are grasses that grow well in early spring, fall and winter. You can plant these cool grasses to maintain a green lawn in cold seasons.

1. Creeping Bentgrass. This is also known as the finest-bladed and lowest growing of all the cool season grass species. The optimum mowing height is about .63 to 1.27 cm.
2. Canada Bluegrass. This fine-textured bluegrass is well adapted to cool climates in the North countries like Canada. It can survive even in poor soil and requires low maintenance. 
3. Kentucky Bluegrass. With over 200 varieties, it is a popular choice residential lawns, athletic fields, parks and gold fairways.
4. Rough Bluegrass. This is a bright green turf that is shallow rooted. Over the winter, it can retain its colour as it can survive without full sun.
5. Perennial Ryegrass. Often used in playing fields and residential lawns, this quick-growing grass cannot take extreme temperature or drought. 
6. Fine Fescues. This is sometimes called creeping red. While these fine-bladed grasses have the narrowest leaves, they can be groomed into a nice lawn.
7. Tall Fescue. This is a tough grass with a fairly deep root system. It is also a good low-maintenance choice as it tolerates high and infrequent mowing. 
8. Wheatgrass. This is a cool-season tough grass that requires less care.  It makes a decent turf grass that wears well when not mown too short.
