Planting Date for Ultradwarf Bermudagrass

Ultradwarf Bermuda grass is a turf grass for golf courses. Its ultra-short stature and thick growth habitat makes it ideal for the golf green. Like all Bermuda grass, Ultradwarf is a warm-season grass that grows best in full sun. Also similar to other types of Bermuda grass, the Ultradwarf variety can be grown from seed or sprigs. Planting the grass at the proper time is critical for the best lawn.
