I planted gobs of bermuda grass seed on a steep bank of my pond after having topsoil brought in to cover the clay. The grass seed took off and was pretty happy with the way it was going and then.....come to find out the topsoil I had brought in was from someones cow pasture or hay field and Bahia grass popped up EVERYWHERE!! It took over my Bermuda! Pat is right , bahia is harder to cut but... it is perfect on that steep bank to keep soil from washing away and...it is fast growing and does withstand heat really well. Matter of fact mine doesn't seem to start growing good until it gets hot! Just my experience and opinion. Good luck!
