Bermuda grass is what grows in the Mid West!

My lawn was a bit over grown and the Bermuda grass had sent seed heads up all over the place! I was going to let it go to seed, but then remembered the following:

Bermuda grass makes for a nice home lawn because it can tolerate a very low mowing height, which is also a reason it is widely used on golf courses in the South. It spreads by both stolons and rhizomes, which helps it to form a thick, dense turf. It is usually found in the south, but may grow as far north as Kansas City. Its maintenance requirements (fertilizing, watering, mowing) are high.

• Width: 1/8" wide
• Tip/blade: sharp point
• Color: deep green
• Growth: forms a dense, close-cut, high-quality turf
• Additional: most popular lawn grass in the central US. Rough along the edges. Has a distinctive, 3- to 5-fingered seed head.
  

Therefor, I don't have to worry too much as this grass will spread, just fine, on its own! Time to get that lawn mower out!
