Common Hulled Bermudagrass

Bermuda Grass Common Hulled

Description

A vigorous, warm season grass which spreads by creeping stolons as well as rhizomes. It is a very prominant grass throughout the southwest. Common bermuda exhibits medium texture and has a more open turf than improved varieties. The
‘Hulled’ form has gone through an extra cleaning process that removes the sheath or hull from the seed. This increases the germination and establishment time over unhulled. The ‘hulled’ form should be planted April through October.
