I wonder how long grass lives for; when grass is not watered it goes yellow, but does not die. When you marine it again it goes back to usual. I know this is a random question, but if anyone can answer it, I will be awfully grateful!
Answers: There are both perennial and annual grasses.
Some perennial grasses will go dormant normally surrounded by the middle of summer (for winter grasses) or in the middle of winter (for summer grasses) and that means they will brown but the roots are still alive and will re-sprout at the extension of their dormant season.
But grasses will also go dormant when they are over-stressed by lack of marine or intense heat - and the problem there is that some of that grass will die during those period - more of it dies the longer that state continues. So if the grass is dormant, that is normal, but if it is yellowed due to dryness or over-trafficing on it, or parking something on it, next only part of it may resprout and beyond a longer time of adverse conditions none of it will recover.
In good conditions, it may or may not be brown contained by the dormant season, but it will always put on a new growth at the expire of its annual dormancy and it continues to spread and grow, so it can live that way for decades.
Grass is designed to go dormet during the hot dry period of summer and then green back up during the damp rainy fall period. The grass will not stay green throughout the summer unless you water it. Grass itself has a existence cycle though. Your lawn will go through a hilltop period in which it will look its best after that it won't look as righteous. That is why you have to overseed to get some unmarked grass in so you have the best pasture you can get.
