Is Tahoma 31 a good water-wise grass for Colorado?

Boulder County Colorado

Expert Response

Hi Suzanne,

Thanks for your question. Tahoma 31 uses less water (approximately 60%) than Kentucky bluegrass, which is one of the more commonly used turfgrasses. 

Tahoma 31 is a good choice for Colorado for several reasons: it is cold-tolerant, which means it will green up earlier and stay green longer, and it is also drought resistant.

Here is some information on lawn care basics, which apply to Tahoma 31 as well:
