I live in NY and need a perennial grass. Is Kentucky Blue grass a perennial? I see it sold a lot in our stores. Any other perennial grasses I should try? Thanks Gail
I don't know what Kentucky Bluegrass is...but we seem to have a lot of here in Kentucky. It's very pretty....and green. ...never thought much about it until I saw this topic. I have it in my yard...everyone has it here. ...guess it's a Kentucky thing.
One of the the advantages of Kentucky bluegrass is if you have walnut trees. Walnuts trees secrete a chemical that is poisonous to most plants; Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue are some of a few grasses that do well in close proximity to walnut trees.
here in Ontario, most of our sod is Kentucky Blue Grass. It is very hardy,deeply rooted, drought tolerant and a lovely blue colour (except in July when most lawns go dormant).
I just spent a ridiculous amount of money on lawn seed- Kentucky Blue grass of course! I'l keep everyone posted- hope this works! Thanks everyone for your comments Gail
