Celebration exhibits a blue-green color and dense turf when properly maintained. Celebration has gained mass appeal in home lawns and sports field use because of its drought tolerance and excellent recovery ability.  Celebration also performs better in moderate shade conditions than other Bermudagrass varieties but is still considered a full sun grass. 

The Grass Outlet is a licensed grower of Celebration Bermuda and is happy to offer it as a general upgrade over the Tifway 419 variety.

Celebration Bermuda - Frequently Asked Questions

Maintaining Celebration Bermuda grass involves ensuring it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily and regular mowing to maintain a height of 1 to 2 inches. It’s crucial to keep the soil underneath well-watered until the roots establish, and provide 5-6 pounds of nitrogen per thousand square feet per year.

Implementing a consistent lawn care schedule with both pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides, along with appropriate fertilization and pest control measures, is essential for a healthy, dense lawn.

While Celebration Bermuda grass has greater shade tolerance compared to Tif varieties, it still needs over 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Celebration Bermuda grass should be cut to maintain a height of 1 to 2 inches. This can be achieved by mowing as frequently as every 2-3 days, ensuring not to remove more than one-third of the leaf tissue at once. Regular mowing at this height encourages lateral growth and results in a dense, soft lawn.
