Turfgrass… How you identify grass

Identifying North Carolina lawn grass varieties. There are three regions or zones based on climate –Temperature –Available moisture –Length of growing season

U.S. Regions or Zones Three of the U.S. regions or zones are in North Carolina. –Mountains and Western Piedmont= Region 1 –Central and Eastern Piedmont and Coastal Plains= Region 2 –Extreme Southeastern Coast=Region 3

Climatic Conditions in North Carolina Many lawn grasses are grown in the North Carolina Regions Each region has its own suitable grass

Region 1-Cool Season Grasses Kentucky Bluegrass Bentgrass Tall Fescue

Region 2- Transition Zone Bermudagrass Zoysia Centipedegrass St. Augustine Carpetgrass Tall Fescue Kentucky Bluegrass

Region 3-Warm Season St. Augustine Bermuda Carpetgrass Zoysia Bahiagrass

Cool Season Grasses Grow best in spring and fall Stay green in winter Tall Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass, Fine Fescue, Perennial Ryegrass, Annual Ryegrass

Warm Season Grasses Grow best in summer Go dormant in winter Bermudagrass, Zoysia, St. Augustine, Bahiagrass, Centipede grass

Identification-Growth Habits Ways new shoots are produced –Rhizome=KY Bluegrass –Stolon= Centipedegrass and St. Augustine –Stolon and Rhizome=Bermuda and Zoysia –Bunch type=Tall Fescues, Perennial Ryegrass, and Annual Ryegrass

Identification-Leaf Texture Fine-Bermuda, KY, Perennial Rye, Zoysia Medium-Centipede and Annual Rye Coarse-Bahia, St. Augustine grass and Tall Fescue from medium to coarse

Identification-Color Light green –Centipede

Identification-Color Medium Green –Tall Fescue

Identification-Color Medium green to dark green –KY, Bahia, St. Augustine grass, Zoysia

Identification-Color Light to dark green –Bermudagrass

Kentucky Bluegrass Growth habit-rhizome Cool season Leaf texture-fine Color-Medium to dark green

Bahiagrass Growth Habit- Rhizome Warm season Leaf texture-coarse Color-medium to dark green

Centipede Growth Habit-stolon Warm season Leaf texture-medium Color-Light green

St. Augustine Growth Habit-stolon Warm season Leaf texture-coarse Color-medium to dark green

Bermuda Growth Habit-both stolon and rhizome Warm season Leaf texture-fine Color-light to dark green

Zoysia Growth Habit-both stolon and rhizome Warm season Leaf texture-fine Color-medium to dark green

Fescue Growth Habit-bunch type Cool season Leaf texture-medium to coarse Color-medium green

Ryegrass Can be annual or perennial Growth Habit-Bunch type Cool season Leaf texture- Perennial-fine, annual- medium Color-medium green
