Seeds: Kentucky Bluegrass
Kentucky
bluegrass is found over all of the cool, humid parts of the United
States, but it’s not native to North America. Colonists brought
Kentucky bluegrass seed to this country in mixtures with other
grasses. Kentucky bluegrass is the primary turfgrass species for
home lawns, grounds, parks and athletic fields. There are more
than 100 species. In the South, Kentucky bluegrass is limited to
the transition zone from North Carolina through much of Tennessee,
from northern Arkansas to the Texas/Oklahoma panhandle. In the
West, Kentucky bluegrass is grown with irrigation. Kentucky bluegrass
is the basic grass species for northern lawns due to its excellent
winter hardiness. It recovers quickly from desiccation injury and
is more tolerant of direct low-temperature injury than annual bluegrass
and creeping bentgrass.
