Bermuda Grass care calendar for zone 7

Mild winter, hot humid summer; the classic transition zone where neither cool- nor warm-season grasses are completely happy year-round. Bermuda, zoysia, fine fescue, tall fescue, and Kentucky bluegrass all grow but each has a stress season.

Bermuda is the workhorse warm-season lawn of the South: heat-tolerant, drought-tolerant, traffic-tolerant, and aggressively self-repairing via both stolons and rhizomes. Hybrid bermudas (Tifway 419, TifTuf) require sodding and look like a putting green; common bermuda can be seeded and looks closer to a typical Southern lawn.
