Yukon Bermuda Grass Seed
Ultimate Cold-Tolerant Turf-Type Bermudagrass
Yukon Bermuda Grass Seed is a premium-quality turf-type bermudagrass developed for superior performance in both warm-season and transition-zone climates. Known for its excellent winter hardiness, dense turf quality, dark green color, and fine texture, Yukon has become a top choice for golf courses, sports fields, commercial landscapes, parks, and residential lawns.
Engineered for adaptability, Yukon performs exceptionally well at both low mowing heights for professional turf management and higher mowing heights for home and commercial landscapes. Its aggressive growth habit, rapid establishment, and outstanding wear tolerance make it ideal for high-traffic applications where durability and appearance matter most.
Yukon is especially valued for its cold tolerance, allowing bermudagrass performance farther north than many traditional bermuda varieties. It can be used for new turf establishment, overseeding, or interseeding into existing bermudagrass stands of similar quality.
