Midnight Kentucky Bluegrass is very dark green and, although they dont usually resume growth until late spring, tolerate high temperatures.
Kentucky bluegrass, a widely used perennial turfgrass in temperate and sub-arctic climates, is probably the most recognizable species in the U.S. Kentucky bluegrass is native to northern Asia; the mountains of Algeria and Morocco; and cool, open sites in Europe. The species gets its name from the origin of the early, commercially produced seed and its blue-green color. Leaf blades are V-shaped or flat and have a keel- or boat-shaped tip.
A light line can often be seen on each side of the central vein of the leaf blade. Plants grow best in fertile, well-drained soils in full sun or light, open shade.
Kentucky bluegrass establishes slowly from seed compared to perennial ryegrass and tall fescue. A relatively high water requirement; lack of establishment vigor; shallow root system; and limited shade, wear and soil acidity tolerance restrict the use of Kentucky bluegrass in Tennessee. Many sod producers plant a 90:10 (by weight) tall fescue: Kentucky bluegrass seed mixture.
Kentucky bluegrass is darker green than many varieties of improved, turf-type tall fescues. The strong rhizomes of Kentucky bluegrass can improve the tensile strength of sod. When weather is favorable, one Kentucky bluegrass plant can produce from 20 to 50 or more feet of rhizomes in five months.
I planted seed in a seed starter greenhouse kit.
Still waiting for to germinate. I will then plant the plugs in my lawn in the bare spots.
In the fall, I will overseas with the midnight kbg. I can give a better review then thank you very much.
The best seed. I will not purchase seed from anywhere else.
Very Good Seed will buy again
I was sent a different variety of seed than ordered and no one has responded to my complaint. Bad service. Not a recommended vendor.
Customer service was very good. Yet the actual seed sent was certified Barrister Bluegrass. I returned the seed, after reading the thoughts presented by a University Agricultural Extension Service.
I’ll will order from your company again, just disappointed that the seed variety marketed wasn’t the variety sent!
