description Transcontinental Bermudagrass Overview

Transcontinental is a seeded bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) cultivar developed by Jacklin Seed, a company specializing in turf grass varieties. As a warm-season grass, it is adapted to hot climates and is valued for its ability to establish from seed rather than requiring sprigging or sod installation, which distinguishes it from many older bermudagrass cultivars. It is used on athletic fields, golf courses, and other turf areas where durability and recovery from wear are important, particularly in the southern and transitional climate zones of the United States.
