For example the colour and texture of your grass can tell you when
it needs watering. But there are 2 other subtle clues that the
colour will tell you. Leaving aside cool season grasses for the
moment. Lets just concentrate on Warm Season grasses. 1) The first is the deeper green the
grass is, the less drought resistant it is. For example Bermuda
Grass comes in lots of different shades of green, but the deeper the
green generally the more water it will need. Silver grey/green
grasses are the most drought resistant. 2) The lighter the
shade of green, the faster it will green up in the spring. So the
olive gray/green and silvery gray/green grasses will be the last to
green up in the Spring and the first to go into dormancy in the
Autumn, and the lighter greener grasses (given a mild winter) may not go
brown at all.
The two rules
for the colour of grass (draught resistance and green up in spring) are...
