To ensure optimal growth, prepare the soil by ensuring it is well-drained and free of debris, and consider aerating it for better germination. Plant when you can ensure there will not be a frost in the next 6 weeks and when average soil temperatures are above 65 degrees. Keep the area moist until the grass germinates, then reduce watering as the grass becomes more drought-tolerant. Maintain your lawn by mowing when it reaches 1 inch, removing no more than 1/3 of the leaf blade, and fertilizing as needed to promote healthy growth and vibrant color.
Hollywood and Monaco create a winning combination in Full House bermudagrass. Hollywood and Monaco were top performing varieties in overall quality, traffic tolerance, and color in their respective NTEP trials (2007 and 2013). With Full House we combined two elite seeded varieties – Hollywood and Monaco – to create a blend that benefits from the strengths of each variety. These varieties are similar in color, texture, and quality, but each was developed from diverse parental lines. This diversity provides a winning combination of characteristics in overall turf quality, density, genetic color, fall color, winter color, spring greenup, leaf texture, establishment, drought tolerance and disease.
Applications: Full House’s texture and dark color strongly resembles the elite vegetative bermudas. For most applications, Full House can be established by seed in place of more costly and time-consuming vegetative varieties. Use this elite blend for golf courses (fairways, tees, and roughs), lawns, parks, business landscapes, and sports areas in warm, humid, and semiarid regions, including areas of the Transition Zone. Full House is not recommended for putting greens.
Establishment: Full House rates highly for percent establishment, but extra care should be taken during the first year for complete establishment and competition against weeds. For best results, plant in areas of full sunlight when soil temperatures reach 65ËšF or greater. Cover seed with no more than 1/4" of soil. Maintain adequate soil moisture around seed using frequent but light irrigation. During the grow-in phase, it is recommended to apply 0.5lbs. Nitrogen per 1000 sq. ft. every two weeks with the first application made 2 weeks after emergence. Continue this schedule for 60-90 days then apply 0.75-1.5lbs. Nitrogen per 1000 sq. ft. each month of the growing season. The management intensity level will determine the amount of nitrogen required monthly. Sports turf installations should use the higher rate while residential lawns may prefer to use the lower rate. It should also be noted that in fall, when Full House is preparing for dormancy, it is recommended to apply additional amounts of potassium while significantly reducing nitrogen.
When To Plant:
Soil Temperature - Plant when average soil temperatures are above 65 degrees.
Time Before Frost - Plant when you can ensure there will not be a frost in the next 6 weeks
Soil Preparation:
Soil Aeration - Use either manual or chemical means to aerate soil and improve germination. This replaces mechanical aeration and adds beneficial microbes to the soil.
Raking - Rake the area to remove any debris that would prevent the seed from contacting soil.
Water Requirements:
Germination - Keeps seeds moist until germination and then reduce watering frequency and increase watering duration.
After Establishment - Water 1 inch on a weekly basis to retain its color during summer; however, this much water is not needed for survival as it is quite resistant to drought.
