Warm Season Grasses: These grasses are much slower starting in the spring. They do not push new growth until temperatures warm in early to mid summer. They flower later in the summer or fall with most blooms remaining into the winter. Most warm season grasses tolerate heat, humidity and drought; some even thrive in these conditions. Sparrows and other small birds love the seeds.
Sporobolus are drought-tolerant, growing best in sandy or rocky soils in full sun. Growing slowly, they are very low-maintenance.
