Bella Bluegrass is a brand-named dwarf variant of Poa pratentis developed by the University of Nebraska. It has relatively deep roots and propagates relatively rapidly horizontally from its root system but grows to only 2–5 inches (5–13cm) in above-ground height, basically eliminating the need for mowing lawns that use it. It cannot be reproduced by seed and thus depends on sod plugs or sprigging for its production. [8] NFL playing surfaces [9] [ edit ]

How to Prepare Your Soil for Kentucky Bluegrass

The deep root system also helps prevent erosion on slopes by holding onto loose topsoil better than shallow rooted plants would be able to do alone.

A drill will deposit the seeds at the correct depth beneath the soil surface. If using a drop spreader, cover the seeds (by raking) to a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep. Annual bluegrass (or Poa annua) is actually a grassy weed that has only a year-long life cycle. Its similarity to other types of bluegrass make it particularly deceptive, though it can be crowded out by maintaining healthy conditions for regular turfgrass and growing that turfgrass to about 3 to 4 inches in height. Start by completely weeding grassy weeds on the bed before installing the lawn. And don't employ the weedkiller while doing this. Generally, it takes 2-5 weeks for them to germinate. It takes 8+ weeks to form dense growth. Bluegrass grow optimally when there the daily temperatures alternate. So in ideal circumstances, there are moderate days with cool nights. Lawn Maintenance
