Poa pratensis, commonly known as Kentucky Bluegrass, is a valuable pasture plant and is often used to make lawns in parks and gardens. Its name comes from its blue flower heads when allowed to grow to its natural height of 2-3 feet. This herbaceous perennial plant has a creeping rootstock with runners and broad, blunt leaves that form close mats at the base. It grows to a height of 30-70cm and produces boat-shaped leaves with rounded to truncate ligules. The oval spikelets are purplish-green or grey and in flower from May to July. Compared to other grass species, Kentucky Bluegrass prefers well-drained, fertile soil and requires moist soil. It is hardy to zone 3 and can tolerate light, medium, and heavy soils, preferring neutral to alkaline soil type. Order today and enjoy the beauty and value of Kentucky Bluegrass in your lawn or pasture.
