It grows where other grasses won't grow, and once it has taken hold of a site, it hardly lets go. I guess it would make a good, durable lawn. If only it didn't grow as aggressively.

Surely that will be more effective, but I am still sure that it will still leave some that will show up like an uninvited in-law.

I first noticed it in our yard and garden just a little over the month ago, and made the mistake of ignoring it. It has taken over.

It's trademark is the star-shaped formation of its seeds...like spread fingers.

Bermuda grass (aka "Devil's Grass) is like an out-of-control cornstalk that falls over and spreads, rooting from its stalks, roots, and seeds.

The only thing I've found that kills it is Round-Up. If you have this weed, start buying Round-Up by the case. You'll need it.

Bermudagrass is very popular for lawns in much of the United States, especially in much of the central and southern U.S. interior states. It is hardy from zones 5a through 11. It is very popular in Florida; a variety of Bermudagrass, known as 'Coastal Hay' or Coastal Bermudagrass, is the most popular forage and hay crop for cows in Florida. The 'Coastal Hay' variety is hardy in zones 8a through 11, at least. Both are popular for lawns and landscaping projects.

However, one major drawback of Bermudagrass is it's invasiveness. It can quickly spread over a large area and invade planting beds and take over.

Hybrid bermuda makes a nicer lawn with same plusses. Drawback as noted by all comments, very invasive if not kept in check by concrete curbing and regular edging and even then, once a crack develops can escape into flower beds. My experience is that it can be as invasive as bamboo and mint. . both a real pain if they invade where you don't want them. . .almost impossible to irradicate once established. . though I prefer not to use chemicals. . .careful applications of Roundup will get rid of it where you don't want it.

This is one of the most invasive plants I have ever seen. Unfortunately, it's used all too often to start lawns, including my own.

I moved from up north and I love how this grass has the look of cool season grasses. This grass is also is great because it will overtake bahiagrass, which is horrible grass, but unfortunately it is widely planted in new construction by frugal home builders who don't care. It is inexpensive to replace a lawn with bermuda because it is available in seed. It is also durable for high traffic.

I have seen bermuda planted and thriving as far south as miami (It probably keeps going).

As for it being an invasive weed, it definitely is but I am thankful for it. If it wasn't for this stuff spreading to my lawn, I wouldn't have ever thought to use it. Does it sprout up in flower beds? You bet, but so does bahia and bermuda is a lot easier to remove than bahia which has miserably deep roots! Just use care when planting seeds. It may spread to your neighbors' and can overtake st.augustine. But hey, you will both have awsome lawns! Recommened for Florida,and in full sun only. I can't speak for other states, but don't know why you'd want to plant it when you can have cool season grasses anyway. Spot test in a small area to see if you like it. To let it overtake a bahiagrass lawn, get started early in summer or late spring. 2 or 3 applications of seed and weekly mowing at 1 inch will rid you of bahia by fall (if applicable). To use less seed, but take longer, cut small circles in existing grass, place seed and watch it spread. Don't forget to mow short.

Definitely invasive. My experience is that it does much better in flower beds and vegetable gardens than in lawns.
