Using the synthesis appraisal system of visual-performance-suitability, the turf characteristic and performance of Hemarthria compressa in the southwest region in China was evaluated in the spring, summer, autumn and winter,with bermudagrass and tall rescue as warm-grass and cold-grass contrast respectively. The results showed that in the spring, lawn landscape qualities of H050 and H049 were more excellent than that of contrast. And in the summer H036, H049 and H011 were better than the contrast in the performance, then in the autumn and winter, H036 and H049 had an advantage over contrast in the performance. After integrated indicator weight in a whole year, H036 and H049, with the score of 17.60 and 18.08 respectively, could be planted as landscape lawn, open lawn, sports lawn and ecological turf in the transitional climate zone.
