Does your property have soil that is not the best for regular grass? Light soil or areas that have a lot of sunshine may not maintain regular grass that well. This means a drought tolerant alternative to grass lawn is necessary when you want your lawn to be lush and green.
Perennial peanut grass is a type of ground cover that is really low maintenance. This type of grass is an ideal option for a drought tolerant alternative to grass lawn, as it does not need to be mowed a lot and it blooms a bright yellow flower. Your lawn will have flowers appear from spring until the first frost of the year.
Areas that are prone to drought conditions are perfect for perennial peanut grass. Another benefit is the grass can be used as forage for animals if needed and the flowers are also edible. A one pound bag will easily cover about 1000 square feet to use as a drought tolerant alternative to grass lawn.
