Fast establishment with excellent heat, drought and salt tolerance.
Species: Cynodon dactylon · New-lawn rate: 15 g/m².
Bermuda Grass is built for Mediterranean summer: it starts quickly once the soil is warm, spreads efficiently and forms durable turf for sunny, heavily used spaces. Its strong performance under drought, salinity and wear makes it especially useful in coastal gardens and areas where irrigation needs careful management.
A clean seedbed, correct rate, even distribution and steady surface moisture are the four factors that determine whether turf starts densely and without gaps.
Do not skip: split the seed across two perpendicular directions and irrigate with a fine spray so it stays in place.
Coated seed supports a quick, even start when the soil is properly warm.
It offers excellent tolerance of heat, drought and salinity.
Stolons and rhizomes help the turf close wear marks and thin areas efficiently.
Calculate the rate across a clean area using 15 g/m². The 1 kg pack covers about 66–67 m² for a new sowing.
Until emergence is even, keep the surface consistently moist rather than waterlogged. Frequency changes with sun, wind and soil type, so check actual moisture instead of following a fixed schedule blindly.
There is no single seed for every space; sun, temperature and intensity of use determine the right choice.
| Option | Type | Best suited to | Wear tolerance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Merida | Cool-season tall fescue | Dark colour · drought · sun/light shade | Very high |
| Bizem | Cool-season tall fescue | Density · lower mowing · demanding use | Very high |
| BermudaTHIS ONE | Warm-season grass | Full sun · heat · salinity | High |
| Kikuyu | Warm-season grass | Rapid recovery · mild coastal climates | High |
| Dichondra | Broadleaf groundcover | Shade · soft texture · minimal mowing | Low |
Contains 1 kg of seed. At the recommended new-lawn rate of 15 g/m², theoretical coverage is about 66–67 m². Actual use varies with preparation, edges and handling losses.
The right choice begins with sun exposure, foot traffic, soil temperature and the appearance you want to maintain through the year. Compare these options before deciding.
Concise, practical answers before you begin sowing.
At the new-lawn rate of 15 g/m², the 1 kg pack covers about 66–67 m². Allow a small margin for edges, handling losses and local interseeding.
Late spring through summer. Wait for soil ≥18°c at 10 cm and rising and avoid extreme heat, frost or heavy rain immediately after sowing.
Keep the upper soil layer consistently moist with short, gentle irrigation. Once the seedlings have rooted, increase the amount gradually and space irrigation further apart.
It is a warm-season species and becomes dormant as temperatures fall, typically below about 12°C. This is normal seasonal behaviour rather than turf failure.
