Description

Arizona Cottontop is a beautiful grass with long whitish hairs that give it a "cottony" appearance. Numerous leaves surround the 3' tall and 1.5' wide culms which bear attractive white flowers in the summer to early fall. Irrigate every 2-3 weeks, after the grass is established, especially during summer. This grass is strongly allergenic for some people.

Water Saving Tip:

As the weather gets hotter avoid the temptation to increase run times.

Instead, schedule more start times with one to two hours in between to allow the water from the previous session to soak in before watering again.
