Not only it’s drought tolerant and non-fussy about the soil type, but also, it’s highly tolerant to traffic, including that of kids and pets, and feels good on one’s feet. It grows well in southern regions but does well also northward up to USDA hardiness zones 5 and 6.

Its growth slows down in fall when temperatures drop down, and ultimately it goes dormant in the winter.

Bermuda Grass Mowing Height and Frequency

Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon [L.]) is popular as lawn grass for home and public lawns, athletic fields, golf courses, and other spaces. It occurs in the United States’ southern regions and transition zone (where both warm-season and cool-season grasses are adapted), and other regions including India, Australia, South America, and Africa, and grows well in almost all types of soils and is drought-resistant.

Its leaf texture ranges from very fine to coarse, and its growth habit is low and dense. Since it spreads both by above-ground stems (stolons) and below-ground stems (rhizomes), it’s very much dense and traffic-tolerant and competes well with most types of weeds, but its downside is that it’s very aggressive. Unless the gardener mows the Bermuda grass lawn regularly, it can creep into flower beds.

Bermuda grass has some specific mowing needs which the gardener should know and follow.
