You are correct! I think I bought a mislabeled plant.

yes it is in Macon

EVER GET A RESPONSE TO THIS?

McMasterovoxo McMasterovoxo no, I didn’t. I have scalped the back yard to a middle mower deck height. Everyone’s lawn here is GREEEEEEEN. We have been getting constant rain. My lawn is now a constant shade of brown after cutting down a little. I’m going to keep cutting it at this same height every 2 weeks and not back off. Front yard I have only gone down 1 notch from the top but it has 40% “dead” looking scalp marks throughout. I’m going to persist mowing the back yard at a “normal” height and see how it goes. If you let it get high just once, the stalk of the grass turns brown and it thins out below. Looks like shit!!!! Makes it hard to go on holidays and neglect it for 4 weeks. They say it’s low maintenance, but this is he most high maintenance grass I’ve ever owned.

@@ibsn87 I'm sure you've learned this by now, but bermuda has to be cut far more often than every 2 weeks. You should be cutting often enough not to cut more than 1/3 of the grass blade off. Likely every 2-4 days for bermuda

@@dhollis26 yep, the lawn chemical companies love it, because it looks shit hot in photos, but they don’t show you photos of its dark side. They make a fortune from this type of high maintenance grass…. To manage it you need to treat it like a golf course, put a lot of money into it and don’t you dare skip a mow. Don’t have a wet rainy week or go on holidays while you’re at it. Fertilize, aerate, scarify, growth inhibitors, acelepryn for lawn grubs, pre emergent herbicides. Stays very green without water but does not grow unless watered regularly. And become its slave to mowing. It presents perfectly. Until you go away on holidays and or unable to mow due to 2 weeks of rain. If it’s cold season, you’re left with junk looking grass for the rest of the season. You cannot cut it lower else you kill it. You must wait until spring and cut it back to ground level and regrow it every year. Then top dress and mow every 3 days. Half of summer your left with dirt as you regrow it. Do not buy this shit grass if you live on a normal suburban block. It’s the BEST grass in the year for about 3 weeks. There is nothing you can do to stop the brown “trunk” / stem of the plant growing up. You are forced to cut higher and higher. Until it starts to thin out as you inevitably scalp sections. I’ll never buy it again. I was one of the very first in aus to get it here. It’s the brown stem that kills it for me. Most other grasses can tolerate a wet week or a single event of not being able to mow for 2 weeks.
