Best Answer

Your average lawn grass cannot grow in the desert because it would simply starve of dehydration. Many grasses that are unable to establish deep root systems quickly during the short rainy season will perish; those that are able to establish a deep root system, are often of the more coarser, hardy varieties than those found on lawns in in the prarie.
