Bermuda grass is used for lawns in areas with a warm, mild climate, with a hot summer and alternating periods of extreme drought and frequent rainfall. Bermuda grass grows well both in drought and in humid conditions, as long as the climate is mild and there are no long periods of cold.
At temperatures below 5°C it turns yellow, but after the winter months and when temperatures rise above 15°C it quickly regains its green colour. In conditions of a changing climate, it is very suitable for sunny places, seaside gardens and clay soil. With proper cultivation and maintenance, lawns sown with Bermuda grass keep a fresher look in summer than areas sown with other grass mixtures. The dense turf that forms does not allow most traditional weeds to appear, which in turn further simplifies maintenance.
The grass thickens quickly and is tolerant of trampling. It also grows well in increased soil salinity. Because of the dense turf and the powerful root system this grass forms, it is also suitable for stabilising steep slopes.
Clear the area of weeds in advance and fertilise with a starter fertiliser. Sow in spring, when the soil temperature has consistently exceeded 15 degrees. It grows best in sun, but also tolerates partial shade.
