Bermuda Grass Seed, Hulled and Coated for Dense Full-Sun Lawns, Athletic Fields and Pasture Establishment
Bermuda grass seed creates dense turf for sunny lawns, athletic fields and public parks, and can also establish pasture for livestock grazing. This hulled and coated seed is suited to warm climates and transition zones, with rapid growth in hot weather and tolerance of heavy foot traffic.
The clay-based coating helps retain moisture around the seed and makes it easier to see during application. Once established, the grass offers drought tolerance for demanding turf and pasture settings. Use it to start a new Bermuda lawn or overseed existing Bermuda turf, planting in spring or summer when nighttime temperatures consistently reach at least 65°F.
