Bermudagrass

Bermudagrass is a warm-season turfgrass widely used in residential lawns, athletic fields, and golf courses across the southern United States. It is known for its rapid growth, fine to medium texture, and excellent ability to recover from wear. Its aggressive spreading habit, through both stolons and rhizomes, allows it to establish quickly and form a dense, uniform turf.

Bermudagrass has fine to medium leaf blades that are light to dark green in color. It spreads through both above-ground stolons and underground rhizomes, forming a tight, carpet-like turf. Seedheads, when present, appear as a cluster of slender spikes radiating from a single point. During cooler months or cold weather, Bermudagrass goes dormant and turns brown, returning to green with warm temperatures.

Bermudagrass thrives in warm, sunny climates and is best suited for the southern and transitional regions of the United States. It tolerates high temperatures, drought, and coastal salt conditions exceptionally well. However, it performs poorly in areas with prolonged cold or shade and will enter dormancy during winter in cooler regions.
