50# Bag of Carolina Coast Summer Mix Bermuda Seed

Carolina Coast Summer Mix Bermuda seed is a warm-season blend typically featuring un-hulled Bermuda grass seed and a nurse crop like Browntop Millet. Designed specifically for quick, resilient ground cover in sandy, coastal, or transition zone climates, this mix thrives in full sun and establishes quickly when temperatures are consistently warm.

Why Choose a Spring/Summer Mix?

  • Rapid Cover: The mix includes a rapid-germinating nurse crop (like Browntop Millet) that establishes in just 7 to 14 days, preventing erosion while the Bermuda takes root.
  • Coastal Adaptability: Designed specifically for the heat, humidity, and sandy soils typical of North Carolina.

Planting Guidelines for Rolesville, NC

  • Soil Temperature: Wait until the soil temperature is consistently above 65°F (typically late spring to mid-summer) to seed.
  • Seeding Rate: If seeding bare dirt, aim for roughly 3 to 5 lbs of seed per 1,000 sq. ft..
  • Depth: Bermuda seed should be planted no more than 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch deep. Lightly rake the seed into the soil so it has good contact.

Watering: This is the most critical step. You must keep the top inch of soil continuously moist by watering multiple times a day until the seed germinates.

Key Seeding Information:

  • Optimal Coverage: 1–3 lbs/1,000 sq ft (new lawn).
  • Overseeding Rate: 1–2 lbs/1,000 sq ft.
  • Planting Depth: 0.125 – 0.25 inches (shallow).
  • Soil Temp: 65°F+ for consistent germination.
Using too much seed can lead to crowded, weak grass, so stick to the lower end (1-2 lbs) if using a spreader and optimal conditions.
