Bermudagrass spreads both underground (rhizomes) and above ground (stolons), which root at their nodes to create a dense, mat-like turf.
Leaves:
The blades are narrow, often 2–15 cm long, and range from bluish-green to gray-green.
Stems:
Erect stems can be slightly flattened and are occasionally tinged with purple.
Roots:
It develops a deep, fibrous root system, which can grow to over 2 meters in drought-affected, penetrable soil.
Seed Heads:
The inflorescence consists of two to six (or three to five) purple, finger-like spikes arranged at the top of the culm.
