Kentucky Bluegrass in Orlando? Better Alternatives for Florida Heat

Kentucky bluegrass fails in Orlando's heat — it's adapted only to the transition zone (NC to TX panhandle) and requires massive irrigation in the South. Better warm-season choices: Bermuda (drought-tolerant, fine texture), Zoysia (dense, shade-tolerant), or Seashore Paspalum (salt-tolerant, coastal). Check local water/fertilizer regulations first.
