The grasses that have survived in our South Florida location have had to withstand winter soil temperatures (Jan-March) averaging 80°F with only 0.70 inches of monthly rainfall. Spring soil temperatures averaged around 81°F with monthly rainfall of 6 to 10 inches.  The relative humidity for June and July averaged 81%, with 7 to 14 inches of rainfall.  We suspect that soil temperatures and moisture stress may have caused some of our causalities.    Despite our weather conditions, we still have some top performers.
