- Drought-Tolerant Grasses (Saws.org)
"These approved grass varieties were chosen for their ability to survive with very little or no water for extended periods...." These varieties of Bermuda grass are approved for use in San Antonio, Texas: Celebration, Common Bermuda, GN1, Grimes EXP, Tex Turf, TifSport, and Tifway 419. The grass requires full sun, responds quickly to watering after a drought, and is extremely tolerant to traffic. Buffalo grass requires little or no watering after it is established but does not tolerate traffic well and must be mowed very high, if at all. Zoysia grass tolerates foot traffic, sun, and shade but grows slowly. 12-12
