Various strains of Bermuda grass have been imported from
Africa since Colonial days and Bermudas long ago spread to
every part of the United States where there is enough rainfall
to sustain them and the winters are not so severe that they
are killed out.

Bermudas thrive in hot weather and therefore are referred
to as warm season grasses. They grow rapidly in full sun.
Improved Bermudas produce a more vigorous/denser turf, less
subject to weed invasion, and have good disease resistance.
Bermudas are the best answer where good turf is absolutely
essential, such as on golf courses and athletic fields where
higher levels of maintenance are available.

In recent years many Improved Bermudas have been bred, selected
and marketed and practically all of them are much superior
to the seeded Bermudas (better color, better texture, greater
density, fewer seed heads and less disease). Improved bermudas
do not produce seed and must be vegetatively propagated (sodded).
The best known and most widely available Improved Bermudas
are:
