Winterizer Fertilizer for Bermuda: What Analysis to Buy

For September application on bermuda, look for high potassium, low nitrogen analyses like 35-0-5, 20-7-5, 24-0-11, or 18-24-12. Avoid "winterizer with weed control" unless you have a weed problem. Follow label rates.

Applying in September (not winter) is correct—it helps the grass store carbohydrates for spring green-up.
