Warm Season Species

Bermudagrass

Cynodon dactylon

Bermudagrass is the dominant warm-season lawn grass of the American South — aggressive, sun-loving, traffic-proof, and capable of repairing itself from both rhizomes and stolons. It demands full sun and goes straw-brown in winter dormancy, but in zones 7-10 nothing establishes faster from seed or takes more abuse.

Why Choose It

  • Spreads and self-repairs aggressively (rhizomes + stolons)
  • Outstanding heat, drought, and salt tolerance
  • Handles heavy traffic — the southern sports standard
  • Fast establishment from seed in warm soil

Know Before You Buy

  • Zero shade tolerance — needs 6+ hours of direct sun
  • Brown winter dormancy in most of its range
  • Invades flower beds and neighboring turf if not edged

Ideal For

Full-sun southern lawns (zones 7-10) that need toughness over finesse.
