I live on the Florida Space Coast and almost every yard in this part of Florida has St. Augustine grass. In the above article, the author states "Warm-season grasses, such as Bermuda grass, zoysia, and St. Augustine grass, grow most actively during the hot summer months and lose their color and go dormant in the winter." Yes, during the midst of our "winter" St. Augustine grows much slower than during the summer but it does not lose its color. I'm sure the author intends to be correct but I'm a Florida native and was born and raised in this area and I've not seen St. Augustine grass lose its color in the winter. Perhaps there are strands of St. Augustine that lose color in the winter but none that I've seen. Regardless, Thanks for the article.
