Tierra Verde Bermudagrass
Tierra Verde bermuda blend features two of Pennington's improved varieties of forage bermuda - Mohawk and Sahara II. This unique, versatile blend contains 50% hulled and 50% unhulled seed thus allowing a wide planting window from spring to early fall. It is well suited for hay, grazing and high traffic sites such as arenas, pasture lanes and other maintained areas. Can also be used a vegetative erosion control planting.
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.
