Which grass is warm-season?

• A. Kentucky Bluegrass
• B. Rye Grass
• C. Bermuda
• D. Fescues

Answer: (C)

Warm-season grasses thrive in hot, long summers and stay green when temperatures rise, while cool-season grasses prefer cooler weather and tend to struggle or go dormant in heat. Bermuda grass is a quintessential warm-season type; it loves the heat, greens up quickly as soil warms, and remains active through hot summers, making it a common choice in southern lawns. The other options—Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass, and fescues—are cool-season grasses. They perform best in cooler temperatures and often struggle in high heat, requiring more water to stay green. So, Bermuda fits the warm-season category best.
