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:
