Hey there, Bronc, I didn't mean to suggest that I don't like a good lawn grass ... I just detest Bermuda! :-) I have a lovely St Augustine front yard and partial back (it's roughly 50% flowerbeds, 50% lawn). This spring I spent days and days and days down on my knees pulling up Bermuda and plugging St Aug (the Bermuda has been allowed to overrun the St Aug over the years). I love the soft plush feel of St Aug underfoot, and also love that once-established, St Aug is very low maintenance.

How much sunlight will this particular flowerbed get? If it's not in full-sun, it won't be that much trouble to keep the Bermuda out. The occasional spritz of RoundUp should keep it under control. Be not afraid!
