About This Variety

Kentucky Bluegrass is a cool-season perennial turfgrass for lawns and open landscape areas where a dense, sod-forming surface is desired. Its familiar lawn texture suits regionally appropriate projects that receive suitable light and are prepared for steady establishment.

Use it for home lawns, open green spaces, or mixes where its growth habit fits the planting plan. Seasonal appearance varies with weather, soil conditions, and routine care, so match watering and mowing practices to local conditions and the needs of developing turf.
