Midnight Kentucky Bluegrass Seed
Back

"Midnight" is an apt description of the dark blue-green color that one can expect from Midnight Kentucky Bluegrass, as it's one of the darkest varieties available. It has dwarf growth characteristics, which results in less need for mowing. This variety also stands up well to heavy foot traffic associated with recreational areas.

Product Information

  • Application or Use: Lawn, Turf, Golf Courses, Parks & Recreation, Athletic Fields
  • Germination Time: 21 - 28 days, under optimal conditions
  • Growing Locations: Cool Season & Transition Zone
  • Height: 2 - 3 inches 
  • Sunlight Requirements: 8+ hours, full sun for best results
  • Advantages: Offers directional mowing, and recovers from damage rapidly.
  • When to Plant: Recommended planting time is spring and fall when night time temperatures are consistently below 65 degrees.

 

Product Detail

  • Very dark blue-green color
  • Dwarf growth habit
  • Strong overall disease resistance
  • High drought tolerance
  • Good tolerance to close mowing


Product Information

Probably the most outstanding feature of Midnight Kentucky Bluegrass is its unusually dark blue-green color, making it the darkest bluegrass available. Its high tiller density provides a thick carpet that will stand up to the abuses of high traffic, usually associated with parks and athletic fields. Sod producers and homeowners enjoy Midnight's dwarf growth characteristics, which result in fewer mowings and reduced maintenance costs. In recent university trials, this cultivar has shown good resistance to Leaf Spot, Stem Rust, Stripe Smut, and Dollar Spot, as well as demonstrating good heat and drought tolerance.

This product is highly recommended for golf courses (fairways, tees and roughs), sod farms, athletic fields, parks, and home lawns.

  Establishment & Maintenance: Midnight, like all bluegrasses, requires 2 - 3 weeks for complete germination. Color may be observed before that time; however in good growing weather where soil temperatures are above 65º F (18º C), expect 8 to 10 weeks for a complete stand of grass. The first mowing may be expected in about six weeks. Midnight possesses good mowing qualities and can be maintained at a cutting height ranging from 1/2 inch to 2 inches (12 - 50 mm). Midnight does well in sand or heavy clay soils, and like all bluegrasses, performs best in soils with a pH of 5.5 to 8. Three to five pounds N per 1,000 square feet per year is adequate in most areas of the United States. However, because of Midnight’s dark genetic color, lower fertilizer rates will produce an acceptable color.

Broadcast seed with a broadcast spreader of fertilizer spreader, and do a light drag or rake seeds in to ensure adequate soil contact.
