Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Zoysiagrass (Zoysia) is a warm-season grass that spreads by rhizomes and stolons to produce a very dense, wear-resistant turf. It is best adapted to the Piedmont and Coastal Plain regions of North Carolina, but some of the more cold tolerant cultivars can be grown in the western part of the state as well.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bermudagrass. Bermudagrass is one of the most popular warm season grasses. There are more varieties of bermudagrass than most species of grass, and they are grown in every continent except Antarctica.

Detailed explanation-3: -Warm season grasses are varieties that are in active growth beginning in late spring and go dormant in early to mid-fall. Cool season grasses are varieties that are in active growth ("green up") much earlier in the growing season (mid-spring) and stay green longer into the fall before going dormant in late fall.
