During periods of cold weather in Florida, warm-season grasses such as St. Augustine, Bermuda, and Zoysia may enter dormancy, characterized by a brown appearance and cessation of growth when temperatures fall below 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
Key considerations include:
*Dormant grass conserves energy by turning brown.
*Growth slows down.
*Water thoroughly 12-24 hours prior to a freeze to insulate the soil.
*Fertilization should be avoided.
*Postpone repairing brown grass, as it will likely rejuvenate in the spring.
