There is a lot of new kinds of Bermuda I’m not very familiar with that look amazing. A lot of universities are coming out with new varieties of grass and landscape plants that are simply short of amazing. I planted some kind of new dwarf gardenia a few years ago that gets about 3’ tall. Those things have bloomed profusely since about the first of April and haven’t stopped. When I was a kid you had mainly August Beauty which bloomed for about 3 weeks and the show was over. My wife planted these dwarf mounding roses called Peach Drift. They have bloomed nonstop for 3 months. Circling back to Bermuda though the cultivar I keep hearing come up over and over from groundskeepers is if they could switch today it would be Tahoma 31. Supposedly it takes shade well and tested up to 75% more cold tolerant than other Bermuda grass varieties. That’s a big deal on a golf course if you can squeeze another few months of green out of the fairways. There are a lot of good options for people that don’t want to sod or can’t afford to.
