Poa Trivialis
Poa trivialis (also called “Rough Bluegrass”) is a perennial grass that forms dense light green patches, especially in moist, fertile, fine-textured soils.
A common choice for golf greens and tees, its strong seedling vigour, low vertical growth, and ability to be mown very short provides consistent ball roll. It has excellent shade tolerance and can handle boggy, wet areas so can be sown on its own in these situations in cool climates.
Poa trivialis mixes well with other species and is ideal for transitional oversowing of warm-season grasses such as Couch and Kikuyu for winter colour and wear. When used to oversow, Poa trivalis allows transition back to the companion grass very smoothly and quickly as the warm weather approaches.
Seeding Rates:
New Lawns: 10 grams per square meter (1kg/100m2).
Overseeding: 5 grams per square meter (1kg/200m2).

Disadvantages of Poa Trivialis:
- Not heat tolerant.
- Although it is a Perennial Grass it may not completely die off in climates that do not have high temperatures in Summer, therefore can be invasive in these settings.
