We have a pasture with patches of coastal bermuda. We have sold our
current house and will be building there. The problem is that the
ground is quite bumpy and will need to be smoothed out. We would like
to plant coastal bermuda, but I've been told that you can't just spread
coastal bermuda, that it has to be actually planted in the ground. In
researching this, I haven't been able to verify whether this is true or
not. I know that we just seeded the common bermuda that we have in our
current yard.

Does anyone know that answer to this?

Thanks

Coastal bermuda does not set viable seeds, so it is common sprigged
rather than seeded. I don't even know if it is possible to seed it.
Some of the other hybrids, like Tifton, do set a very small number of
viable seeds.

Thanks, do you like Tifton better than common bermuda?


I've only heard of Tifton; I live in Minnesota now and bermuda doesn't
grow up here.
