Riviera Bermuda Grass

Riviera is also an excellent choice for planting in colder areas where bermuda grass is not known to survive. Finally, a bermuda grass seed that can be planted in areas with hard winter freezes. Riviera can be used on putting greens as well like Princess 77 bermuda grass; however, both Princess 77 and Riviera perform best if mowed between 1/2" - 2". For healthy turf, do not remove more than 1/3 of the leaf blade each time. More frequent mowing at shorter heights will result in a finer, more dense turf.

Bermuda Grass Seeding Rate & Planting Time

New turf: 2 - 3 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Plant when soil temperature reaches 65 degrees in spring up until a minimum of 6 weeks before frost in fall.

Riviera seed should be planted in areas of full sunlight when soil temperatures reach a consistent 65F and are on the rise. Plant in a well-prepared firm seedbed. Cover seed with no more than 1/4 inch of soil. Maintain adequate soil moisture around seed using frequent but light irrigation for optimum germination. Bermuda grass seedlings should emerge in 10 to 14 days. As seedlings develop, decrease frequency of irrigation but increase the amount of water applied. As turf matures, follow recommended turf watering guidelines for your growing region.
