Midnight Kentucky Bluegrass Seed.
Plant Rate of 2 - 3 lbs per 1,000 Sq. ft.
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.
