Bermuda grass is characterized by its fine-textured, narrow, and sharply pointed leaf blades that range in color from light green to dark green, depending on the variety and growing conditions
. It forms a dense, low-growing turf that spreads aggressively through above- ground runners called stolons and underground stems called rhizomes, creating a thick, carpet-like appearance
. The grass typically grows to a height of 1 to 3 inches when maintained properly, giving it a well-manicured look
. The leaves often have a ring of small white hairs at the base where they meet the stem, and the grass produces seed heads that look like spikes with tiny finger-like branches during the growing season
. Bermuda grass is dark green and soft underfoot, making it suitable for lawns, especially in warm climates, and it is known for its resilience to heat, drought, and heavy foot traffic
. In winter or cooler conditions, Bermuda grass may turn brown as it goes dormant
. It can also spread rapidly, forming large patches with a dense growth habit that is distinct from similar grasses like crabgrass, which has broader leaves and grows in clumps rather than dense mats
. In summary, Bermuda grass looks like a fine-textured, dark green, low- growing turf with narrow, pointed blades, spreading thickly via stolons and rhizomes to form a dense, durable lawn
