The University of California released this remarkable grass in 2003. _UC Verde_ produces a dense turf of soft, bright-green, very fine leaf blades. It is excellent for the adverse conditions found in the lower valley of the desert southwest and California. Stays greener later in the fall and greens up earlier in the spring than other varieties recommended for this region. _UC Verde_ will grow to a maximum height of 4 to 8 inches in most locations. Zones 7-11. *Ships All Summer!*
