What’s the Difference Between Warm-Season and Cool-Season Grass?

Warm-season grass grows best at 80-95 °F. Examples include: St. Augustine, Zoysia, Bermuda, Bahia, and centipede grass. Warm-season grass grows vigorously during the summer months. You should begin feeding in spring (late March to April) and continue every 6 to 8 weeks until early fall (August to September).

Cool-season grass grows best at 65-75 °F. Examples include Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass, fescues, and bent grass. Cool-season grass grows vigorously during spring and fall, with a tendency to go dormant during the heat of summer. Feed twice in spring (April to June) and twice in fall (August to October). Add in summer feedings every 6 to 8 weeks only if you irrigate the lawn to keep it actively growing.
