Rye grass is typically grown in Phoenix during winter, when Bermuda grass becomes dormant. Rye grass cannot survive in the intense Phoenix summer heat, and it needs to be replanted every fall, typically between the second and third week of October. Rye grass is typically overseeded with dormant Bermuda grass. Water Rye grass every 3-5 days, during nighttime. Rye grass quickly dies out as soon as the climate warms again to more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit, typically at the time of the year when Bermuda grass starts to grow again.
Key points:
1. Water Bermuda grass every two days, preferably at night or early in the morning.
2. Increase watering intervals when using fertilizer
3. Check soil moisture every day
4. (optional) seed with Rye grass during winter
5. Water Rye grass every 3-5 days
