This blend utilizes three Texas hybrid cultivars of Kentucky bluegrass – ‘United’, ‘SPF 30’, and ‘Blue Gem’, combining the pristine aesthetics of Kentucky bluegrass with the exceptional drought tolerance of Texas bluegrass. These cultivars also provide excellent disease resistance, density, and dark green color.
