I would like to know the type of grass that is green and thick in warm weather and turns completely brown in winter year after year. I see this type of grass in a few people lawn near where I live (in Zone-6 Northern New Jersey). What is it?
Now, those lawns that have this grass are gradually turning green in a very even manner. I am wondering whether they are warm season grass that are planted in a cold region. That would have explained why they are growing well even in hot weather. But if that is the case, I am wondering how they can surrive the cold winter and bounce back now.
This type of grass tends to grow thick and not much weeds. But it turns to yellow/brown (more yellow than brown) in winter. Therefore, I would not like it in my lawn. I am asking this just for curiosity.
Thanks for any info.
