Bermuda grass is one of the most popular of the warm season grasses. Bermuda grass can be easily planted from grass seed, sod or grass plugs. Bermudagrass is planted for beautiful, durable grass lawns, nutritious and traffic tolerant pastures, sports turf, golf courses, athletic fields, and more. This perennial grass grows in tropical, sub-tropical and the transition zones.

Bermuda grass is one of the few warm season grass varieties that will grow a little further north into the colder climates -- see the adaptation map below. More cold tolerant and high quality Bermuda Grass Seed varieties are being developed constantly -- such as the popular Yukon Bermuda grass seed.

In the 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. Lawns planted in Bermudagrass can attain full lawn coverage in just one year. It is not uncommon for seeded or plugged Bermuda grass lawns to be established within 60-90 days. Note that when temperatures drop, to the point of frost, bermuda grass will go dormant and turn brown until temperatures rise again in the Spring and growth resumes.

Bermudagrass has long been considered the "South's Grass", a lawn grass favorite due to it's texture and color. With the development of improved and cold tolerant Bermuda Grass Seed, we have seen the adaptation areas of Bermuda grass move further North into the USA Transition Zone.

Newer, more "cold tolerant" Bermuda Grass Seed varieties extend the Bermuda grass planting area further North allowing the choice of a more drought resistant species in the transition zone. Examples of these improved, cold tolerant Bermuda Grass varieties are Yukon, Mohawk and Rivera. Read more about improved Bermuda Grass Seed below.

Bermuda Adaptation* MAP ABOVE SHOWS RANGE OF BERMUDA IN USA Improved varieties with better cold tolerance than basic common bermuda types should be used in areas including Oklahoma, N. Texas, N Arkansas, Tennessee, NC and Virginia.

*MAP NOTE: Bermuda seeded varieties planted in the more Northern areas marked in red on above map should be selected from "cold tolerant" varieties such as Yukon, Riviera or Mohawk to avoid increased risk of winter kill.

Developments in the grassing industry have produced many improved Bermuda Grass Seed varieties that are very popular in sports fields, golf courses as well as commercial and home lawns. The newer Bermuda Grass Seed varieties are now being used extensively for fairways and tee boxes removing the need to plant the more expensive vegetative Bermuda Grass varieties. These new seed varieties are, in many cases, better than the vegetative Bermuda Grasses.
