Bermuda grass is a warm-season favorite, prized for its ability to grow in sunny areas with excellent drought tolerance. Here's everything you need to know about selecting, planting, and caring for Bermuda grass seed:

1. Choosing the Right Bermuda Grass Seed

  • Opt for pure Bermuda grass seed if you're seeking the highest quality lawn.
  • Seed blends with fertilizer are ideal for a quick start and convenience.

2. How Much Bermuda Grass Seed Do You Need?

  • For new lawns, sow 1–2 lbs of seed per 1,000 sq. ft.
  • For overseeding, use 0.5–1 lb per 1,000 sq. ft.
    This ensures even coverage and the thick, carpet-like appearance Bermuda grass is known for.

3. When to Seed Bermuda Grass

  • Plant Bermuda grass seed in late spring to early summer when soil temperatures reach 65–70°F or higher. This promotes optimal germination and establishment.
  • For warm climates, this can extend into early summer. Avoid seeding during fall or winter as Bermuda grass thrives in warmer conditions.

4. Watering Bermuda Grass Seed

  • Keep the soil consistently moist during germination. Water lightly 2–3 times per day to avoid drying out the seeds.
  • Once the grass begins to sprout (usually within 7–14 days), reduce watering to 1–2 deep sessions per week to encourage strong root growth.

5. Fertilizing Bermuda Grass

  • Apply a starter fertilizer when planting, such as 15-20-10 to provide essential nutrients.
  • Once established, Bermuda grass benefits from 4–5 lbs of nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft. annually. Use a slow-release fertilizer for consistent feeding such as our 20-0-10 Fertilizer.

6. Bermuda Grass Seed Costs

  • The cost of Bermuda grass seed varies depending on purity and blend, averaging $7–$13 per lb.
  • For convenience, explore our Bermuda grass seed bundle that combines premium seeds with starter fertilizer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between hulled and unhulled Bermuda grass seed?

Hulled Bermuda grass seeds have their protective outer layer removed, which helps them germinate faster under warm soil conditions. Unhulled seeds retain this layer, making them better suited for planting in cooler or less predictable weather, as they take longer to sprout.

How long does it take for Bermuda grass seed to germinate and establish a lawn?

Bermuda grass seed typically germinates within 7 to 14 days under optimal conditions, including warm soil (65–70°F), consistent moisture, and good sunlight. A full, lush lawn may take 8–12 weeks to fully establish.

Can I improve my existing common Bermuda lawn by overseeding with an improved turf type?

Yes, overseeding an existing Bermuda lawn with high-quality seed can help fill in thin areas, improve density, and enhance the lawn's overall look. Proper soil preparation and watering are key for successful overseeding.

When is the best time to plant Bermuda grass seed?

The ideal time to plant Bermuda grass seed is late spring to early summer, when soil temperatures consistently reach 65°F or higher. Warm weather encourages faster germination and stronger root development.

How much water does Bermuda grass need?

Newly planted Bermuda grass seed should be watered lightly 2–3 times per day to keep the soil consistently moist. Once established, the lawn only needs 1–2 deep waterings per week to maintain its health and encourage deep roots.
