Bermuda grass

Warm-season turf

Bermuda grass is a warm-season grass that spreads aggressively through runners and underground stems, making it valued for lawns, pastures, and athletic fields in hot climates.

Its toughness and rapid growth are virtues in a lawn but vices in a garden, where it becomes a persistent weed: I've been fighting Bermuda grass in my flower beds for years.
