Santa Ana Bermudagrass

Overview

Water saving Santa Ana bermudagrass was born and bred California. It is one of the most drought tolerant hybrid bermudagrasses, with a short dormancy period.

While traditionally used in Southern California, Santa Ana bermudagrass pushes the northern boundary of the transition zone, and is quite successful. Its ability to tolerate cooler temperatures, excellent fall color retention, and early spring green up help push the growing and climatic regions of this bermuda variety.

Its medium-fine deep green color and wide range of mowing heights make it an ideal choice for golf courses, athletic fields, commercial and residential lawns.
