Improved lawn type, darker green, finer leaf and lower growing than common. Increased drought, durability and wear tolerance. Sahara was one of the first attempts to find a genetic pure Bermuda. After over 40 years of production Common had changed with differences even in the production fields. These differences mean that not all Common Bermuda is genetically the same and for turf use Sahara offers a consistent product and is recommended over common for a Turf.
Should be planted when soil temperatures are consistently above 60 F. It requires 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to do well and typically does best when mowed between 1.5 and 2 inches in height. Bermuda grass thrives on fertilizer. After your lawn is established you should apply fertilizer to Bermuda two to three times during the growing season.
