In many parts of Florida, permanent lawngrasses go dormant in the late fall and early winter. This results in an unattractive brown lawn in which weeds can be easily seen. A practice called overseeding is often used to provide green winter turf cover. In overseeding, a temporary coolseason grass is seeded into the permanent lawn. Grasses used for overseeding will die out in the spring, when the warmseason grass comes out of dormancy.
