Hancock's Highlander Turf Bermuda is the best option for a successful Bermuda lawn or turf application, such as on golf courses, athletic fields, and public parks. Hancock Seed Company hand-selected the Highlander variety due to its breeding and optimal characteristics. Hancock's Highlander Bermuda grows rapidly and will thrive in hot weather or full sun.
This Bermuda is known to produce a lush, dense turf that will be less subject to weed issues and invasion. Highlander Bermuda is extremely drought tolerant and disease resistant, once established. This is a top choice for overseeding existing bermuda turf, or for starting an easy, cost-effective, and gorgeous bermuda lawn from scratch.
Bermuda grasses are the best and most popular form of turf to use for athletic facilities in the American South—from the humid climate of Florida across the Gulf of Mexico shore to Texas, and even farther out West—and other warm-weather climates. The reason for this is because of Bermuda's extreme resistantance to wear and tear, as well as its ability to bounce back from damage done by athletic shoes and heavy foot traffic. One issue in using Bermuda for turf is that high-quality varieties have only been available as plugs or other forms needing establishment. Hancock's Highlander Bermuda is at the top of a list of cultivars that are available for most budget-conscious establishment via seed, and not through plugs.
Hancock's Highlander Bermuda is such a fine variety that it is also known for being a quality choice for pasture applications. Hancock's Highlander even outperformed many other seeded bermudas during forage trials in both Texas and Arizona. It can withstand heavy grazing and is extremely high yielding.
Hancock's Highlander Turf Bermuda is hulled and coated.
Coated Seed vs Raw Seed
Coated seed contains a clay-based surrounding shell that increases moisture retention and helps to reduce insect or fowl consumption. Coated seed contains approximately 50% coating weight, or inert weight, per pound of seed. Coated Hancock's Highlander Turf Bermuda is also easier to see after it is applied. Raw seed features no fillers, coatings, or treatments.

It's no secret why Hancock's Highlander Turf Bermuda Seed is so popular. The answer is "because it works"! Here are a few of our favorite reviews from clients who have planted Hancock's Highlander Turf Bermuda Seed:
"I received my seed in less than a week," writes Jason S. "I seeded my front yard the last week of May during a 2 week drought with highs in the upper 90s every day. I watered every evening with sprinklers covering as much of my yard as possible. The Highlander emerged in 5 days and has not slowed down since. Great germination where I was able to keep moist and the seed outside of my irrigation reach waited for rain which finally came the first week of June. I have very sandy soil in northeast North Carolina and would highly recommend this seed."
"Hancock Seed consistently provides excellent product," says Murray R. "I moved back to my home in Deep South Alabama in 2016. I had moved away in 2009 and the house was a rental until June 2017. Needless to say, the grass was in sad, sad shape...I had good results in 2017, and again over seeded with the same product in 2018. This year has beyond my expectations. Areas that were barren and I thought would take even longer to get back, were lush and green. We had a drought this past August/September, and the yard had held up. I would recommend Hancock Seed to everyone."
"WOW....Put this seed out not knowing we were expecting record breaking temperatures here in South Carolina," writes Ed B. "Spread seed on Sunday evening temps were 100+ for four days and by Thursday grass was popping up!! I did have to water 3 times a day! About ready to order another 100 lbs. 'Tickled.'"
"We dragged about half an acre in our front yard with a dethatcher (criss cross pattern), used a Scotts rotary spreader set on the lowest setting (2) to put the seed out, then dragged a section of fence with a garden tractor," says Sean R. "We watered 30 minutes twice a day the first three days, but noticed the soil getting dry in the middle of the day (90 degree days). This area gets full sun, so we added a third watering in the middle of the day (2pm), even though we figured it would evaporate. Low and behold, here we are on the evening of day 5 and we have 1/4 inch tall grass seed germination!...It's off to a great start."
Remove all old vegetation to prepare a clean seedbed by means of a rake. Drag or rake the area to both loosen and level any hard or uneven spots if needed. Apply a slow-release starter fertilizer at the recommended rate of 5 lbs. Per 1,000 sq. ft. for lawns. Fertilize your lawn three times a year for best results.
Broadcast seed at recommended rate. Drag, rake or roll lightly to cover the seed, no more than 1/8 in. below surface. If you are overseeding an existing lawn or pasture, it is essential to mow existing grass low and incorporate seed 1/8 in. into the soil for best results. Apply lawn irrigation for approximately 30 minutes every evening until soil is damp, and germination has occurred. Irrigate newly-seeded lawns every other day until the grass reaches 6 in., then water recommended 3 times a week, if needed.

United StatesI bought 3 different brands of bermuda grass seed they all did good 95% stand of grass, the zorsia and centipede seed though have yet to sprout.
Bermuda is a much faster germinating grass than zoysia and centipede. We are sure you will have good results! Thank you for your review!
United StatesIt all germinated and filled in the bare spots. Seems some died back already, so I reseeded, it looks good
Excellent! Glad you are having great results with the Highlander turf bermuda! It is a beautiful lawn grass. Thank you for your review and for choosing Hancock Seed!
United StatesI love your seeds, especially the Highlander Bermuda seeds. Our front and side yards are absolutely beautiful. We get compliments all the time -- our neighbors say that it looks like a golf course. The back yard has been another story. In 2018 and 2020 we added a lot of large trees along with hedges to our back yard. This process took a toll on our yard and grass. The back yard had only about 70% grass coverage with a lot of patchy and damaged areas. That said, this year’s project was make our back yard look like the front. So, am I happy? Yes, absolutely. The back yard is about 85% covered with beautiful Bermuda grass. I put some inexpensive Bermuda seed down first, then heavily overseeded with the Highlander grass seed. Now, the back yard is almost back, thanks to this seed. Next year should be absolutely amazing. I do want to mention that we have the Greenskeeper Lawn Service provide much needed **** control, nutrients, and fertilizers to our yard. This year, we added two more applications of fertilization to our yard. Well, this has been a long-drawn-out story, but a good one. I plan to overseed again this fall. Thank everyone at your company for providing an extremely high-quality product.
Happy to hear that you love the Highlander bermuda, we love it too! It is a good quality turf bermuda at an affordable price. Glad your back yard is looking great! Thank you for your review and for choosing Hancock Seed!
United StatesLast year my yard looked bad. I have a mostly centipede lawn and someone suggested I detatch it. Not a good idea with centipede grass. The. I decided to fertilize it but my spreader was broken. I threw it on the lawn and it burned it. I babied it back to health this year and it was looking good but I bought your seed to overseed the lawn. Omg. My yard is looking great. How can I send a picture?
