Kentucky Bluegrass

Kentucky Bluegrass is a grass type best used in full sun areas. If starting a new lawn from seed, be prepared to water lightly every day for a month in order to be assured good germination and establishment.

Lawns established from sod commonly consist largely of Kentucky Bluegrass. If this sod is laid in a shady backyard, the Kentucky Bluegrass will not flourish and overseeding with a shade tolerate grass like Fine Fescue is recommended.

Advantages of Kentucky Bluegrass include:

• Good colour and density
• Flourishes in full sun areas
• Great ability to spread
• Recovers from damage rapidly
• Good cold tolerance and Winter survival
• Very disease resistant and tolerant to wear and tear
