SIMLAW SEEDS LAWN GRASS BERMUDA

Bermuda grass seeds must have a thin soil covering to germinate correctly. It’s best to rake down the area you plan to seed, and then when placing the seeds, be sure that you lightly cover each one with soil so that they’re about ¼ of an inch deep.

Once seeded, rake lightly over the area to promote better soil contact. Although Bermuda grass requires little water, fresh seeds will need daily watering until the establishment is more apparent.

Characteristics

Climate: Thrives in hot climates and is well-suited for USDA hardiness zones 7 to 10.

Growth: Spreads through both stolons (above-ground runners) and rhizomes (below-ground runners), making it excellent for filling in bare spots.

Drought Tolerance: Highly drought-tolerant once established, but requires regular watering during dry spells.

Foot Traffic: Ideal for high-traffic areas due to its durability and rapid recovery

Quick Tip: While its establishment rate is slow, Bermuda grass does have an aggressive spreading habit. This means that it’s not uncommon for it to creep, which means that regular edging, hand-rouging, or herbicide application may be necessary.

As a warm-season seed that flourishes in the southern regions, Bermuda grass should always be planted in the full sun. A couple of hours of shade throughout the day is acceptable, but part-shade will do more harm than good for this blend. It is also drought-resistant, which means that you have to be careful to avoid accidental overwatering.

Benefits

Heat Tolerance: Can withstand extreme heat, making it a popular choice for lawns in warm climates.

Low Maintenance: Once established, requires minimal watering and care.

Versatility: Suitable for residential lawns, sports fields, and golf courses due to its durability and rapid recovery
