Grasses - I have trouble keeping these straight

Cool Season Grasses - start growing early in spring, flower early summer, then growth slows. They stay evergreen in winter, or keep evergreen basal growth.

Festuca Siskiyou

Calamagrostis Karl Foerster

Deschampsia Gold Dew

Warm Season Grasses - late to emerge in spring, don't despair, flower in late summer. Cut all the way back. Handle drought.

Bouteloua Blonde Ambition

Pennisetum Burgundy Bunny
