French Grass or Bermuda Grass

Bermuda grass is among the most drought-tolerant grasses. After the grass is established, it can stay green with only 1 inch to 1-1/2 inches of water per week (less than many other grass types) and handles hot, dry conditions well. It goes dormant in long periods of drought and can survive in this state for as long as four weeks. Water infrequently but deeply to encourage the root system to grow deeper, which will help the grass handle dry conditions. Sandy soils typically require more frequent watering.
