Bermuda grass
Cynodon dactylon 'Yukon'
Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon 'Yukon') is amazing for many reasons. One of the most notable is its extreme hardiness and resilience. It can withstand extreme temperatures, and drought or flooding. Plus, it is incredibly low maintenance: it spreads quickly and has a high tolerance for wear and tear. It’s also highly attractive, with deep-green, waxy leaves and a lush, thick texture. With its multiple uses, Bermuda grass 'Yukon' is a great choice for yards, sports fields, and golf courses alike. If you’re looking for a hard-wearing and attractive grass, this is the one.
