Where Bermudagrass Grows Best
Water your bermudagrass lawn deeply and infrequently, at least twice a week. Due to its drought tolerance, bermudagrass can handle hot, dry climate conditions well and requires a minimal amount of water to keep it green and healthy. Your lawn fertilizer for bermuda grass should get about 1 inch of water per week, including rainfall. Because it is a warm-season grass, bermudagrass grows best in areas that experience high average daily temperatures, and mild winters.
Bermudagrass is usually grown in states south of the transition zone and in areas where average daily temperatures are consistently above 75°F.Bermudagrass can tolerate having its grass blades cut quite short, which is why it is often found on golf courses and sports fields. While cool season turfgrasses like tall fescue at three inches, bermudagrass can be mowed down to one inch and still flourish.
Due to its quick-growing habit, you may need to mow twice a week during its peak growing period (late spring to early summer). Make sure that you are not taking off more than one-third of the grass blade when mowing. Like all other grasses, bermudagrass prefers to be cut with sharp blades to prevent shredding or tearing of the blades.
