Like most plants, grass slows down and virtually stops in the winter due to the lack of warmth and light that it gets in the spring and summer. I guess you could call it a kind of resting period.

Oh I thought it maybe something like that!


Can you imagine having to cut it in the rain/snow/hail - that wouldn't be fun at all!!!


Thanks for the answer.

Just to follow on, I planted some 'Canada Green', that stuff thinks its a racehorse, and it doesn't stop growing in the winter.
Grasses normally won't grow at temperatures below 43 degrees Fahrenheit. Moss does, and chokes off the new grass. That's why my lawn is full of moss every spring.
