How Do You Plant Hybrid Bermuda Grass?
Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) is native to southern Africa and northern Europe. It’s currently grown throughout the world, especially on lawns and golf courses. Bermuda grass is highly hybridized and is available in many varieties with specific characteristics. These varieties are generally hardy and may be propagated with seeds or plugs. Select the site. Hybrid Bermuda grass prefers warm climates within 30 degrees of the equator. It should receive 25 to 69 inches of water per year, although it’s highly drought-tolerant. Its ability to recover quickly from damage makes it a popular turf grass for highly trafficked areas. Eradicate any existing plants in the planting area. Till the soil to a depth of a few inches to remove any other plants and ensure the ground is level. Spread a non-selective herbicide over the area to kill any remaining weeks. Allow the soil to remain undisturbed for at two weeks to allow it to reach its natural pH. Prepare the soil. Add fertilizers with pH neutral
