Product Overview


Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) is the gold standard for premium turfgrass—famous for its rich emerald color, fine leaf texture, and long-term durability. As a perennial, cool-season grass, it forms a dense, carpet-like lawn that self-repairs through underground rhizomes, making it ideal for high-traffic areas, athletic fields, and upscale residential landscapes.

Cold Tolerance & Spring Green-Up: Breaks dormancy early, greening up fast in spring
Heat & Moisture Management: Modern cultivars show improved heat and disease tolerance
Wear Recovery: Rhizomatous growth knits turf together, healing divots and high-wear zones
Aesthetic Excellence: Lush color, uniform density, and fine blades create a top-tier visual appearance
Low-Maintenance Potential: Requires moderate irrigation and fertilization once established
Long-Term Value: With proper care, stands last for years without frequent reseeding

Kentucky bluegrass thrives in northern climates and transitional zones, performing best in loamy, well-drained soils with at least 6 hours of sun daily. Its perennial growth habit reduces the need for constant renovation, and its self-repairing nature means fewer inputs and better long-term lawn performance.
