This post started in April and we are now heading out of winter that was very cold and wet. I've noticed a lot of santa Anna lawns going really dormant with not a sign of green except for weeds. Some of these lawns are long and not very thick. The green ones are well looked after and I suspect have had regular fertilizer and mowed low. I'm not a great fan of santa Anna because of its poor state and appearance in winter but the turf company's really promote it as a good lawn.
