50# Bag of Coated Centipede Seed

Common hulled coated Bermuda seed is a high-traffic, drought-tolerant, warm-season grass designed for fast, high-percentage germination. Hulled seed (outer shell removed) combined with a clay/fungicide coating ensures quick establishment. It is best suited for sunny lawns, pastures, and erosion control, with a coverage rate of 2-3 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft..

Seeding Purpose

Key Characteristics of Hulled Coated Common Bermuda Seed:

  • Hulled (Rapid Germination): The outer, protective sheath is removed for quicker and more uniform germination (10–14 days) than unhulled seed.
  • Coated (Improved Establishment): Seeds are coated with a clay-based material and fungicide to hold moisture, enhance soil contact, prevent disease, and aid in uniform spreading.
  • Drought & Heat Tolerant: Extremely robust once established, making it ideal for the lower 1/3 of the US.
  • Aggressive Growth: Spreads by stolons and rhizomes, allowing it to recover quickly from traffic and fill in bare spots.
  • Performance: Medium leaf texture, medium green color, and high wear resistance.
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.
