Hulled bermudagrass is a warm season grass that spreads through creeping stolons and rhizomes, making it well suited for high traffic areas. It exhibits medium texture and faster establishment than unhulled varieties due to undergoing an extra cleaning process. Hulled bermudagrass has outstanding heat and drought tolerance, recovers quickly from wear, and is ideal for locations like golf courses, sports fields, and parks. It should be seeded between April and October at a rate of 2-3 pounds per 1000 square feet for new turf or 1-2 pounds for overseeding, with germination occurring within 10-14 days when properly irrigated.

HULLED BERMUDAGRASS
Description:
A vigorous, warm season grass which spreads by creeping stolons as well as rhizomes. It is a very prominent grass
throughout the southwest. Common bermuda exhibits medium texture and has a more open turf than improved varieties. The
‘Hulled’ form has gone through an extra cleaning process that removes the sheath or hull from the seed. This increases the
germination and establishment time over unhulled. The ‘hulled’ form should be planted April through October.
