    • Height: Ideally maintained between 2-5 cm with regular mowing.
    • Width: Spreads quickly, forming a dense and uniform coverage.
  3. Complementary Plants

    • Compatible species: Roses, lavenders, and drought-resistant shrubs.
    • Ideal garden types: Perfect for family gardens, minimalist designs, or recreational areas.
    • Integration ideas: Excellent for high-traffic areas, children’s play zones, and residential lawns.
  4. Recommended Soils

    • Adaptable to various soils but thrives in well-drained soils with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0 and rich in nutrients.
  5. Climate and Sunlight

    • Climate: Tolerates high temperatures and drought periods. It is more cold-resistant than other Bermuda varieties.
    • Sunlight: Requires full sun for optimal growth. Can tolerate partial shade but with reduced density.
  6. Maintenance Frequency

  • Pruning/Mowing: Regular mowing during the growing season (spring and summer) to maintain a height of 2-5 cm.
  • Fungicides/Insecticides: Apply preventive treatments in case of high humidity or pest infestations.
  • Fertilization: Use nitrogen-rich fertilizers at the beginning of spring and every 6-8 weeks during the growing season.
  • Protection: Reduce watering and allow slightly higher growth to protect the base if frost is expected.
