When ranking the popularity of the warm season grasses, Bermuda is certainly near the top of the list. Both attractive and easy to care for, Bermuda grass will turn your lawn into a manicured landscape perfect for your bare feet. Here's a quick summary of the characteristics of Bermuda that you should know. Coming to the US from the savannahs of Africa via the Bermuda Islands, Bermuda grass has taken its place as one of the go-to
grass types for most homeowners. From the genus Cynodon and the species dactylon, this warm season grass can be found the world over from 45 degrees north to 45 degrees south longitudes. Turfgrass Producers International reports that the Hindu from India actually considered the grass sacred, as they frequently fed it to their cattle.
