minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•4 months agoRespectfully, I must disagree. I recommend Poa pratensis, but I admit that this varies based on the USDA plant hardiness zone.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•4 months agoI certainly agree that the texture of Poa Pratensis is much more pleasurable. However, being in zone 8 and not wanting to seed my entire lawn every year, I’m more familiar with E. ophiuroides and Zoysia japonica.
