DESCRIPTION:
Bermudagrass is a perennial grass that is frequently used for lawns
but also is a troublesome weed in many gardens. The plant grows
rapidly when temperatures are warm and moisture is abundant. Seedlings develop tillers early and have vegetative
characteristics similar to mature plants.The mature plant forms dense mats with creeping and branching aboveground
stems that root at the nodes. Flowers are attached to spikes which radiate from a single point at the tip of
the stem. The collar region of bermudagrass has a fringe of short, white hairs.
