McKay’s Kentucky Bluegrass is an extremely hardy, good-looking lawn with excellent repair capabilities. It is a cool climate grass, best suited to areas with mild to warm summers and colder winters, like Victoria and Tasmania.
McKay’s Kentucky Bluegrass is a cool season bunch type grass, which also has a unique trait of growing underground runners called rhizomes. While not anywhere near as vigorous as the rhizomes of runner grasses such as Couch, these runners allow Bluegrass to spread itself and thicken the density of the sod providing moderate repair capabilities. While Kentucky Blue does spread, it is not as aggressive as Couch or Kikuyu, making this grass a good fit for any backyard with low garden beds.
Kentucky Bluegrass is very well suited to companion planting with other grass types, particularly Fescues and Ryegrass. This lawn has a medium sized blade and will produce a thick sod which is very soft under foot.
It is an excellent grass for the frost prone areas of Australia, including Victoria and Tasmania as it maintains its color and does not go dormant during winter.
