Bermuda grass is a vigorous, sun-loving warm-season turf grass that establishes quickly and tolerates heat well. It requires full sun and regular mowing to maintain a tidy appearance, as it spreads aggressively by stolons and rhizomes. Regular edging is needed to prevent it from invading garden beds and neighboring areas.
