Celebration Hybrid™ is an improved variety developed by Mississippi State University resulting from crosses of parent grass Celebration® Bermudagrass. Celebration Hybrid features top-tier drought tolerance in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) bermudagrass trials. Hybrid also adds many other improved features showcasing a finer texture and better shade tolerance than its predecessor with fewer seed heads and with less thatch. It also has a better cold tolerance, performing well north into the transition zone making it ideal for home, sports and golf use.
