Centipede care calendar for zone 7

Mild winter, hot humid summer; the classic transition zone where neither cool- nor warm-season grasses are completely happy year-round. Bermuda, zoysia, fine fescue, tall fescue, and Kentucky bluegrass all grow but each has a stress season.

Centipede is the "lazy lawn" of the Coastal Plain South: low-fertility, low-mow, slow-growing, light-green. It is the grass for the homeowner who wants a real lawn but does not want to fertilize four times a year.
