Which grass is a warm-season grass?

• A. Kentucky Bluegrass
• B. Zoysia Grass
• C. Fine Fescue
• D. Perennial Ryegrass

Answer: (B)

Warm-season grasses are those that thrive in hot weather and stay productive when temperatures rise, often growing vigorously in summer and going dormant in cold seasons. Zoysia Grass fits this pattern: it is well adapted to heat, forms a dense and durable turf, and remains greener through hot summers in suitable climates, but typically goes dormant and turns brown when temperatures drop. The other grasses listed are cool-season types—they grow best in cooler temperatures and during spring and fall, and they tend to struggle in heat, sometimes staying brown or requiring extra water in hot summers. So, Zoysia Grass is the warm-season choice.
