Veracruz Bermuda Grass Seed - 25 lb. bag

Veracruz (SWI-1041) Turf-Type Bermudagrass Seed - is an exciting new seeded
bermudagrass cultivar with superior turf performance from the Southeast
through the Southwest United States, and north into the lower transition zone.
It is the highest rated seeded cultivar under Schedule A maintenance, that has
mowing heights, and fertility similar to those practiced on golf course fairways,
tees and sports fields. Veracruz has the highest summer density of any seeded
cultivar. Fine leaf texture contributes to the high turf quality. Veracruz has
excellent winter color retention and high frost tolerance, making it the perfect
choice for areas with mild winters to have a green turf surface without
overseeding. This makes it ideal to use in Mediterranean climates throughout
the world.

Veracruz was developed for high turf quality in the traditional bermudagrass
areas. It is an eight clone synthetic with five of the clones tracing their lineage
back to Australian germplasm. Australian bermudagrasses are known for their
improved winter color retention and Veracruz retains this characteristic. The eight
clones were selected for high turf quality, high density, uniform appearance, fine
leaf texture and wide genetic diversity.

Veracruz is ideally suited as a straight variety, or as a component in a certified
blend, such as LaPrimaXD. This superior product can be combined with Yukon
bermudagrass due to similar color, density and texture. It is also ideally suited for
blending with LaPaloma for more rapid establishment. It can be seeded into new
turfgrass projects, or interseeded into existing seeded or vegetative bermuda to
improve the overall quality of a turfgrass site. Veracruz is an alternative to vegetative
bermuda (sprigs or sod) turfgrass applications.
