Our Pensacola Bahia Grass Seed mixture is used for lawn and pasture applications in the southern climates. Pensacola Bahia is commonly used for lawns, pastures and roadside applications from North Carolina to California. It is excellent for sandy soils that many other grasses struggle to survive. Our Pensacola Bahia is harvested, processed and distributed from Hancock Farm and Seed Company insuring the highest quality Pensacola Bahiagrass seed available.
Note: Pensacola Bahiagrass is not recommended in high quality lawn applications due to prolific summer seed sprout production. For high quality bahia grass lawn applications we recommend our Argentine Bahia grass seed mixture.
Pensacola Bahia grass is commonly used for lawn and pasture applications across the Southern United States including Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, North East Texas, and South West California.

Pensacola Bahiagrass Mix - Spring & Summer Mix
75% Pensacola Bahiagrass (Coated)
25% Browntop Millet
This mix is shipped March 1 through September 30th, unless otherwise requested.
Our Spring & Summer Pensacola grass seed mixture contains 75% Coated Pensacola Bahiagrass and 25% Browntop Millet. The Browntop Millet is added to assist in fast ground coverage, retaining soil moisture and preventing soil and seed erosion. The Browntop Millet will also quickly establish an effective germination environment for the permanent Pensacola Bahiagrass. The Browntop Millet will germinate in 5 to 7 days with adequate soil moisture and grow for approximately 65 days. During the Browntop millet’s 65 day growing cycle the permanent Pensacola Bahiagrass will establish beneath the protective Browntop Millet’s coverage. It is very important to keep the newly seeded areas watered and mowed to prevent the Browntop Millet from overcrowding or shading out the young Pensacola Bahiagrass seedlings. To insure a successful seeding and establishment experience please refer closely to the planting guide provided with your order.
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.. Raw seed features no fillers, coatings, or treatments.
Rave Reviews
It's no secret why Hancock's Pensacola Bahia Grass Seed Mix is so popular. The answer is "because it works"! Just click below to see a few of our favorite reviews from clients who have planted Hancock's Pensacola Bahia Grass Seed Mix:
Over seeding an existing lawn - Bare spots can be easily filled in by spreading the area by hand or with a spreader. Remember, after spreading the seed to lightly rake in the seed to cover no deeper than 1/4 inch. To properly over seed the entire lawn, use 2 to 5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. after removing as much unwanted dead or living vegetation.
Pasture Applications
New Pastures - Plant 50 to 100 lbs. per acre.
(25 lbs. takes 12-24 months to fully sod the pasture.)
*The more seed applied to the lawn or pasture on the first planting the faster the lawn or pasture will fully establish a sod or grass base and prevent future over seeding to fill in bare spots.
Over seeding an existing pasture: Over seeding rates depend on the amount of established or existing grass in the pasture area. Common applications for over seeding are 25- 50 lbs. per acre.
Fertilization Recommendations:
Lawn Fertilization: Apply 5-10 lbs. of 16-04-08 slow release fertilizer per 1000 sq. ft. four times a year (Late Spring, Mid Summer, Late Summer, Early Fall) for the first two years. After a fully established lawn has been accomplished apply 5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. two times (Mid Summer,Late Summer) a year.
Pasture Fertilization: Apply 250 lbs. - 350 lbs. of 16-04-08 slow release fertilizer per acre in Late Spring, Mid Summer and Early Fall. Animals that are grazing will damage the Bahiagrass pasture if the pasture is not properly fertilized annually. The grass must be provided with adequate nutrients to compete with the animals.

United StatesI planted about 1 acre of new lawn in south central South Carolina starting in early May 2021. Early planting might have been a bit too cool still as it was slow to grow. June and early July plantings, as I planted in sections I could water, grew much better. The brown millet grew well. Then the Bahia is slow to no in sandy and clay soils. Tilled well and fertilized for prep. Hoping it fills in as the season progresses.
United StatesGood. I will buy from Hancock again. Planted and have seen good success
Happy to hear you are having great success with the pensacola bahia mix. We are sure you will love it. Thank you for your review!
United StatesNot sure why the request for a review of seed that I bought less than a month ago, but here goes...Green coated seed. Spread as it should, but that has little to do with the actual seed and more to do with the method I chose. Hasn't germinated yet, but I am not expecting it to be magic seeds. Hopefully it grows as it should. The batch of straight Bahia Pensacola seed I bought worked okay. We've had too much rain this year so it will wash away before germinating, no matter how much cover and tack is applied. Might wait until late winter/early spring or maybe even late summer to retry.
Thank you for your feedback. We are confident that you will have success with the pensacola bahia mix. Thank you for choosing Hancock Seed!
United StatesThe two years we drove to Hancock's to pick up our seed, then we switched to having it delivered. It's too easy to order online and have everything in a few days. We do miss the drive and the beautiful scenery.
Glad that you find ordering online easy to do and getting it shipped right to your door is very convenient! We do love seeing our customers though! Thank you for your review and for choosing Hancock Seed once again.
United StatesI'd like to try the Argentine Bahia next time to see if the grass is darker green. I'm happy with how it's sprouting.
Glad to hear that the seed is sprouting and looking great! Argentine is not darker but does have a wider blade. Thank you for your review!
