# Determining the type of grass for your region

Turfgrasses perform more effectively within temperatures that most closely match their growth patterns. Turfgrasses are divided into two temperature categories: cool season and warm season.

## **COOL-SEASON**

**Cool-season** turfgrasses are those species with optimum growth at temperatures between 60 and 75°F (15.5 to 24°C). Cool season grass species include creeping bentgrass, fine fescue, tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, annual ryegrass and perennial ryegrass.

## WARM-SEASON

**Warm-season** turfgrass are those species with optimum growth at temperatures between 80 and 95°F (27 to 35°C). Warm season grass species include Bahiagrass, Bermudagrass, Bentipedegrass, St. Augustine and Zoysiagrass.
