Comment from Phoeniz, AZ gardener with UC Verde lawn

“This is REAL triple digit weather … over 110 for most of the month. The lawn gets noticeably stressed by the last day before watering – slightly blue and footprints don’t spring back.

But I’m using 60% of the water it would take for an established Bermuda lawn, and mowing less than once a week. Unlike Bermuda, that turns scraggly when underwatered, the Buffalo grass just slows down it’s growth but stays reasonably green.”
