Looking to find a draught tolerant/low maintenance grass that can survive some of our dry spells.
In previous posts the following grasses have been mentioned:
Carpet grass, wide & coarse blades
centipede grass, creeping
Zoysia, grown in plugs
Seashore paspalum, what we have in our planted lawn, and my favorite. very low maintenance and fine blades. If you don't walk on it, it puffs & bubbles, & can tolersate salt water. Mella provided this link for this grass:

You may also look at planted lots (like a botanical garden) have seen them in small & large lots.
Just remember that you will have 12 months of hyper active growing on anything planted.
Aloha, Carey
