There are two types of Bermuda generally available, common Bermuda and hybrid Bermuda . Common Bermuda is the more aggressive of the two in terms of growth and invasiveness and is also known to produce large seed crops. Large seed crops can contribute to the difficult task of keeping common bermuda from invading flowerbeds and other areas where it might not be desired. Hybrid Bermuda has a finer texture and better color. More importantly it is less aggressive and is considered to be more manageable then common Bermuda.

Bermuda grass is one of the most popular warm season grasses. In large parts because of it’s capability to spread, the interlaced rhizomes it produces quickly cover an area and produce a dense cover. This same tendency makes it naturally deterrent to weeds, many of the hybrid varieties have high levels of resistance to weeds. Hybrid Bermuda is more expensive then common Bermuda but the benefits provided by it make up for the cost difference.
