Choosing the Right Grass for Cold Tolerance

When it comes to surviving winter, different grasses have different cold tolerance levels: 📌 Zoysia Grass: One of the most cold-hardy warm-season grasses! 🌱 Slow to establish, but forms a dense, resilient lawn that bounces back quickly from cold stress—perfect for colder winters. 📌 Bermuda Grass: Has medium to excellent cold tolerance. It thrives in sunny areas, handles heavy traffic, and is great for active lawns! ☀️ 📌 Centipede Grass: Low maintenance and grows well in acidic soils, but offers only moderate cold tolerance. 🌱 It’s more vulnerable to winter kill, especially in shaded or poorly drained areas. 📌 St. Augustine Grass: With the weakest cold tolerance, it thrives in shaded areas but is more prone to winter kill and cold damage in cooler climates. ❄️ 🌱 Tip: Select grass types based on your lawn's needs and your region’s winter weather! #ColdTolerantGrass #WinterLawnCare #HealthyLawns #WilmingtonNC #NCYardCare
