Selected
has survived the summer for 3 continuous years
From the info below, I guess this is talking about the resilience/durability of the 洋芝 grass with respect to surviving the summer heat in certain climates and regions.
北海道・北東北を中心に分布していますが、草種・品種によって _越夏性_ が異なります。耐暑性の強い品種が開発され、関東以西でも利用が増えています。関東以西で安定的に維持するには耐暑性、耐病性が強い品種を選び、床土の改良と散水設備の完備および適切な管理をすることが必要になります。
You can probably think of a more eloquent expression than "survived the summer"!!! - apologies!

has survived three summers
The "continuous" is only there to boost the word count. By that logic, one should use "in a row"--three words instead of one!
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
goldfish04
: By definition, if the grass fails to survive, it dies and cannot survive further. If the grass survived three nonconsecutive summers with replanting, saying it "survived three summers" would be misleading, especially since many grasses are perennial.

Minoru Kuwahara
: if goldfish04's point od view is applied, would it be simply "three consecutive summers" again? -
