Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) is a highly durable, fast-growing perennial warm-season turfgrass known for its exceptional heat, drought, and traffic tolerance. It features a deep, fibrous root system and spreads aggressively via both above-ground stolons and underground rhizomes, forming dense, dark-green mats. Common in lawns, sports fields, and pastures, it thrives in full sun but has poor shade tolerance.
