Monaco (Riviera) Bermuda Grass Seed (Cold Tolerant) - 10 Lbs. Bulk

Bermudagrass grows well on a wide variety of soils from heavy clays to deep sands, provided fertility is not limited. It tolerates both acid and alkaline soil conditions and is highly tolerant to saline conditions. Bermudagrass survives some flooding but does best on well-drained sites. Riviera Bermuda Grass is an improved variety that is drought tolerant and will withstand colder temperatures. Although it may persist under low fertility, bermudagrass has a high nitrogen requirement for good quality turf. Applying 3 to 5 pounds of nitrogen per 1000 square feet (1.5 to 2.5 kg/100 square meters) per growing season is adequate.
Establishment of Riviera Bermuda Grass

Riviera should be planted in areas of full sunlight when soil temperatures reach a consistent 65°F (18°C) and are on the rise. Plant in a well-prepared firm seedbed. Maintain adequate soil moisture around seed using frequent, but light irrigation for optimum germination. Seedlings should emerge in 10 to 14 days. As seedlings develop, decrease the frequency of irrigation, but increase the amount of water applied. As turf matures, follow the recommended turf watering guidelines for your growing region.
