How to identify Bermuda grass (Cynodon)

Bermuda grass

Bermuda grass is characterized by its capacity to form dense mats with a medium to fine texture. Often found in lawns and other manicured spaces, it has a notable perseverance, spreading through rhizomes and stolons. Its foliage comprises slender, flat leaf blades that exhibit a vigorous growth pattern. This perennial turfgrass boasts a remarkable adaptability, thriving in a diverse range of soil conditions with pH values from 5.0-8.5. Additionally, it can propagate through seeds in non-hybrid variants. Bermuda grass flourishes in warm climates and demonstrates considerable drought resistance.
