BERMUDA GRASS
Cynodon dactylon
Bermudagrass is a warm season sodding, creeping perennial grass. It is long lived and spreads by seed, runners and underground rhizomes (which spread aggressively). It can be found on millions of acres throughout the USA from Florida to Tennessee / Maryland and west through much of Texas to California. Short leaves are 1 to 4 inches long and heights can reach 18 inches in pasture situations.

Introduced to the US around 1751(or even earlier), it is now the most important pasture grass in the South Eastern US with dozens of hybrid and seeded varieties available. Used for pasture, lawns, sports field applications, erosion control, highways. Both seeded and improved hybrid (vegetative only) varieties are grown today. Most all seeds are are produced in Southern Arizona and California as seeds in other areas tend to be sterile.
The Common Bermuda variety is most commonly used / planted variety for both lawns and pastures. However new improved seeded and vegetative varieties are now very popular and planted in large acreage numbers for both pasturage and lawns. There are now dozens of hybrid and seeded varieties to
choose from. Bermudas go dormant after first frost and remain that way through winter until spring. They are often overseeded with Ryegrasses to provide a green color and / or grazing in cool months.
