Sahara II Unhulled Bermudagrass
Sahara II multi-purpose seeded bermudagrass was developed for quick establishment and coverage along with good heat and drought tolerance and consistent high forage yield. It develops into a thick sod with excellent durability and wear characteristics making it well suited for multiple use including for pastures, hayfields, landscape, recreational areas and vegetative erosion control.
Planting Instructions
Plant when soil moisture is adequate. For summer plantings, do not plant when ambient temperatures are expected to be above the middle 90’s. If weeds become problematic, periodically mow to reduce competition with the seedling bermuda. To further reduce weed competition, delay the application of fertilizers containing nitrogen until the bermuda seedlings have fully emerged.
