One of the main desirable characteristics is that it is highly resistant to dog urine and foot traffic. Kelly’s been testing it for 20 years with his many dogs. It's a warm-season grass that is green from June through October in its recommended zones, 5-9.
In our trials, it only used 10% of water that traditional cool season grasses normally use. Two years ago, Kelly only watered it 3 times all summer! Last year he had to water it 8 times due to the extreme drought. It requires a fraction of the water of traditional turfs and is much more durable than native buffalo grass. It's a very fine strain related to Bermuda grass and is a gorgeous bright green color.
This Cynodon selection (Cynodon ‘PWIN04S’) is derived from African grasses similar to American buffalo grass but holds up better to wear and tear. It is a sterile hybrid so it can’t reseed into the wild environment and become an invasive weed
