Hello nature lover.....!

Bermudagrass is one of the most sun loving warm season lawn and pasture grasses.  Bermuda can be easily planted from grass seed and provides a good "medium plus" turfgrass lawn in Southern areas. Bermuda turf requires a moderate amount of lawn grass care, maintenance and mowing.

 Bermudagrass.com - For All Bermuda Grass Seed Needs
BERMUDA GRASS is considered the "South's Grass", a favorite in texture and color for all areas of usage.

This perennial grass grows in tropical, sub-tropical and the transition zones. Found extensively on lawns, golf courses, sports fields and arenas, reclamation areas, parks, coastal areas and pastures.

Newer, more "cold tolerant" varieties extend Bermudas planting area further North allowing a choice of a more drought resistant species in the transition zone. Examples of these are Yukon, Mohawk and Rivera.

Bermuda Grass Characteristics

  • Bermuda grass grows best in full sun.
  • Bermuda grass has a medium to fine texture.
  • Bermuda grass is drought resistant and highly versatile
  • Bermuda Grass is salt tolerant.
  • Bermuda grass is easy to establish from seed.

Bermuda grass was brought to America in the 1500's from Africa via the Spaniards. Since that time has developed from the basic forage grass into one of the major grass species used on the most exclusive golf greens worldwide. This grass is a perennial sod former, dark green, drought resistant, low growing, fast repairing, full sun, has fair salt tolerance, can be mown closely, forms a dense turf, goes into dormancy when temperatures drop below 60 degrees and greens up fast when temperatures rise. Once only grown from sod or sprigged, bermuda grass is now readily available as seed in both common and improved varieties. Bermuda grass spreads by rhizomes and stolons and is a highly diversified grass.

Lawns planted in Bermudagrass can attain full lawn coverage in one year. It is not uncommon for seeded Bermuda lawns to be established within 60-90 days. This grass is one of the few warm season coverage that will grow a little further north in colder climates. It will turn brown at the first dip in temperature though. Look for more cold tolerant varieties. In the more warmer tropical south, during average rainfall years, Bermuda will retain a beautiful green color all year round. This grass can be grown on low to high maintenance schedules depending upon the usage.

Known as one of the most persistent  and aggressive grasses grown it is very hard to kill Bermuda after establishment. Germinates quickly from seed, covers quickly and grows in a variety of soils. With a fair degree salt spray tolerance, Bermuda is used in coastal regions all along the south and up to the lower sections of the cool season area. One of the best qualities of this grass is the degree of growth that can be achieved through good management practices. This is highly desirable on golf courses and athletic fields where heavy traffic damages occur daily.

On golf courses Bermuda grass is the number one choice for tee and putting areas. Although the newer Zoysia seeded grasses are becoming very popular. The sodded varieties are still the finest in texture and density and are used even for greens. To grow these hybrids at lower heights requires an extraordinary maintenance schedule. Expertise is required to control disease and insects Managers must also be knowledgeable concerning frequent fertilization schedules, over-seeding management techniques, utilization of intense mowing schedules for shorter mowing heights than most lawns, plus accurate irrigation and drying procedures. Newer seeded varieties such as Princess 77 are approaching the hybrid quality and texture found in the vegetative varieties. Research at www.ntep.org to see how seeded Bermudas compare to vegetative varieties.

Bermuda Grass Seeded Varieties Becoming More Popular

This is not to say that the only bermuda grass varieties used on golf courses are the ones from sod. Developments in the grassing industry have produced many improved seeded varieties that are being used more and more. The newer seeded varieties are now being used extensively for fairways and tee boxes. Click on the picture at left to see some pictures comparisons of seeded and other Bermuda grasses.

These improved seeded grasses make an excellent lawn grass and can be mixed by variety to improve the lawn characteristics much like the cool season grasses are are mixed. Paloma and Yukon are two Bermuda grass seed varieties, found in the La Prima XD Bermuda grass blend, that are often mixed together for stronger qualities. This allows for a more flexible mowing height from very short to two inches high. Newer varieties such as Mohawk and Yukon extend the area of adaptation and provides better texture than the more common strains.

Another excellent and very popular professional turf type BLEND of 3 improved varieties sold for home lawn and golf course applications is the Bermuda Triangle. This variety along with La Prima Bermuda are classified as mid range "Fairway Quality" varieties. They also make a great option for use as a general purpose home lawn.

PREMIUM QUALITY BERMUDA GRASS

The Newer finer "Premium Quality" varieties are Princess 77 and Yukon. Several of these can be used for home putting green applications as long as you do not require a high speed Bermuda green. Princess 77 is economically available in 5 lbs sizes especially for growing small lawn areas such as putting greens. It is used for both professional sports fields (2005 SUPER Bowl!) and for high end commercial / home lawns. Yukon is also one of the highest rated cold tolerant varieties on the market for lawns planted in cooler transition zone areas and will also perform great in very warm / hot areas with quality turf in all zones. It is available in both large and small packages at an attractive price for a improved variety. These are not for use on high-speed modern Golf Greens but are excellent choices for seeded tees and fairways, or for improving existing common Bermuda or problem fairways.

Princess 77 Bermudagrass is one of the newest seeded Bermudas available on the market. Princess 77 produces a dense, green turf that is highly comparable to the sodded varieties listed below. But with lower cost the establishment costs are much less than sod!!! It makes an excellent dense turf that can be mowed low for a green type look or kept maintained at higher heights for a denser fairway look.

YUKON Bermuda is also a high quality turf variety similar in turf quality to Princess 77 but with higher cold tolerance (winter survival).  Yukon can be usable for home putting greens and high input lawns where low-mowing ability and density is important. Yukon is a popular variety due to it's dark green color (very similar to Tifway 419 in color) along with excellent cold tolerance AND slower growth for less mowing.

MEDIUM QUALITY BERMUDA GRASS

The three-way Bermuda blend, "Triangle Blend" and the two way blend "La Prima" are used extensively on golf course fairways (public types) and athletic fields. Triangle is one of the better blend choices for medium input home lawns, fairways and sports fields. We sell more Triangle than any other improved variety because of its proven versatility. La Prima is also a popular choice. Other varieties are Paloma, and Savannah, used for home, sports and fairway use. The Pennington Smart Seed Bermuda Grass Blend is an excellent choice for home lawns and is available in smaller package sizes for planting smaller areas, than are some of the other varieties.  More of the new turf-type seeded varieties used for lawns are listed in the links at upper right.

BASIC QUALITY BERMUDA GRASS

Bermudagrass is fairly disease and insect resistant depending upon varieties - some are better than others. The improved common varieties such as Sahara are good choices for use in lawns and are easily seeded and cheaper than expensive sod or sprigging types. Sahara is probably the most popular variety sold due to it's improvement over common and it's economical price. SR-9554 is probably one of the better quality basic varieties and in many applications performs similar to the other medium quality varieties. Oasis Blend and Blackjack Bermuda are basic varieties used throughout the Southern states and are especially popular from Texas through Arizona.

BERMUDA GRASS HYBRIDS

Hybrid varieties such as Tifgreen, Tifton 419, and Tifway and many more varieties are sodded or sprigged on golf courses and for commercial sports and lawns. These sod hybrids are much more expensive to establish and generally require more fertilization and water than the more "common" types. Any lawn planted in Bermuda needs to be as completely level as possible due damage caused by "scalping" the grass into the soil and damaging the roots.

SEEDED BERMUDA GRASS SPORTS FIELDS

For a seeded Sports field application, we recommend that you consider using the PRINCESS 77 or YUKON Bermuda variety if you wish for a look close to the hybrids such as Tifway 419. (Read more at www.ntep.org for comparison data.) --- If you are needing a more general purpose turf / or perhaps a more economical cost of establishment is required... the Triangle Blend or the La Prima Bermuda are Blends of turf type Bermudas works well for sports field applications.

Bermuda LawnsThe down side to Bermuda grass is the aggressive quality that also makes it so popular. Flower beds or other adjacent areas can be over-run if not kept in check by constant edging or applications of herbicides. This is one of the grasses that can "return from the dead" if not completely killed the first time due to its extensive root system and just digging it up without getting rid of the roots will not solve the problem.  Repeated applications of a glyphosphate such as Roundup are usually required to kill Bermuda.

Blade texture can range from slightly coarse to very fine depending upon the variety. This grass prefers well draining soils whether acidic or alkaline and tolerates soils from sandy to clay. It is adapted along coastal areas into the interior of the country. The wear ability factor is high and depending upon the cultivars can repair moderately well. Shown in the picture here is Common Bermuda Grass.

BERMUDA GRASS IN PASTURES

Pastures of hybrid, common and improved Bermuda grasses are grown for forage and hay production throughout the South. Common Bermuda grass is drought resistant, full sun, fast growing, fast germinating, easy to establish and provides a low maintenance pasturage. Common Bermuda was used extensively for years and is still one of the most used pasture grasses grown. These are just a few reasons for using Bermuda as a forage. Deep roots make the grass very drought resistant with the plus that it can be flooded for short lengths of time and fully recover.

Newer improved vegetative forage Bermudas (hybrid sprigged varieties) are usually planted primarily for hay production. There are also new improved seeded varieties (Such as Cheyenne II , Ranchero Frio Blend, and Giant) that can provide excellent cost effective plantings for use for general forage / pasture and/or hay production at a more economical cost than sprigging . Pasto Rico and Seedland Forage Blend are mixtures of common and giant bermuda. Cheyenne II Bermuda is one of the newest seeded forage varieties that is attracting a lot of attention from ranchers for its excellent pasture grass performance.
