description Yukon Bermudagrass Overview

Yukon is a seeded bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) cultivar developed and released by Oklahoma State University in 1996. It was specifically bred for superior cold tolerance, allowing it to survive winter temperatures that would typically kill common bermudagrass. As a warm-season turfgrass, it establishes quickly from seed and forms a dense, drought-resistant lawn or playing surface. It is commonly used by homeowners, sports field managers, and golf course superintendents in the transition zone where both cool-season and warm-season grasses are grown.
