Spreading bentgrass is a cool-season turfgrass that requires regular watering and moderate maintenance for optimal lawn coverage. It performs best in cooler climates with consistent moisture and partial shade tolerance. This grass spreads via stolons to create dense, fine-textured turf ideal for high-traffic areas.
