Tifgreen 328 is a fine-textured, low-growing hybrid bermudagrass developed for high-performance turf applications. Its dense canopy and uniform growth habit allow for a mowing height range of 1/8" to 3/4", making it suitable for golf course tees, fairways, sports fields, and high-visibility landscapes.

This variety exhibits excellent color retention and rapid establishment, and it transitions smoothly into overseeded ryegrass during cooler months. Tifgreen 328 demonstrates superior drought tolerance, requiring significantly less water than cool-season species such as tall fescue, and has a reduced incidence of pest and disease pressure under proper management.

Best adapted to full-sun environments in warm-season zones, particularly Southern California and Arizona, Tifgreen 328 offers durability, resilience, and aesthetic appeal. It is available as sod or stolons and performs optimally with regular fertilization, consistent mowing, and moderate irrigation.
