Bermuda grass seeds can be planted in summer. Although the weather is a bit hot to a certain extent, it does not affect the growth of Bermuda grass. Some people may worry that it will be troublesome to plant Bermuda grass in summer. In fact, the planting process is not very complicated.

How to sow Bermuda grass seeds

Bermuda grass seeds can be sown in late spring or early summer. The temperature is relatively warm at this time, which is conducive to seed germination. Select plump, disease-free seeds and fertile and loose soil. Sow the seeds in the soil and cover them with a thin layer of soil. After sowing, water them with enough water and wait for the seeds to germinate.

Seed treatment

The seeds of Bermuda grass need to be disinfected before planting. You can soak them in an appropriate amount of carbendazim solution, take them out after about 20 minutes, and place them in a cool environment to dry. After the moisture is evaporated, you can sow them.

Seed germination

Generally, it takes about 12 days for Bermuda grass seeds to germinate, but depending on other planting conditions such as temperature and humidity, there may be a time difference of 1 to 3 days.

Seed germination

When the Bermuda grass seeds are just sown or germinated, water them more frequently. After they grow to three or four centimeters, the frequency of watering can be reduced. After they have become a lawn, watering them about once a week is enough. If there is sufficient rain in the southern region, watering is basically not necessary.

Bermuda grass has a peak growth season in summer, and quick-acting fertilizer needs to be applied once a month, and topdressing is also required in late autumn. This kind of lawn plant is short, and if it grows too high, it needs to be pruned. Generally, about one-third of the plant is enough. It needs to be pruned once a month in summer, and once every two months or not pruned at all in other seasons.
