Princess 77 Bermudagrass

Princess 77 is a seeded bermudagrass variety developed by Pennington Seed, planted from seed rather than installed as sod or sprigs like many traditional bermudagrass cultivars. Seeds should be sown into warm soil during the spring or summer growing season at the recommended seeding rate for optimal germination and coverage.

Like other bermudagrass varieties, Princess 77 exhibits good drought tolerance once established, as bermudagrass species are naturally adapted to warm, dry climates. Its deep root system helps it survive periods of limited rainfall better than cool-season turfgrass species such as Kentucky bluegrass.

Princess 77 was specifically bred to produce a dense, high-quality turf comparable to vegetative hybrid bermudagrasses like Tifway 419, but with the advantage of being established from seed rather than sod or sprigs. This makes it more practical and affordable for large-area plantings where vegetative propagation would be prohibitively expensive.

Princess 77 bermudagrass is a warm-season grass suited for the southern United States and other regions with hot summers, thriving in the climates where bermudagrass species naturally perform best. It goes dormant and turns brown during winter cold but greens up when warm temperatures return in spring.
