"Midnight" Kentucky Bluegrass is the most Popular Blue Grass In America. Midnight is a unique compact-type variety grown in the plush Willamette Valley in Oregon to be distributed across the U.S. It posesses the qualities most desired by turf-grass professionals.

Those qualities include:

• A very dark blue-green color
• Dwarf growth habit
• Very high tiller density
• Drought tolerance
• Strong overall disease resistance
• Good tolerance to close mowing
• More than 15 years of proven performance!

Probably the most outstanding feature of Midnight Kentucky bluegrass is its unusually dark blue-green color giving it a rich color even under low maintenance conditions. Its high tiller density provides a thick carpet that will stand up to the abuses of athletic fields and high traffic. Sod producers and homeowners alike will enjoy Midnight's dwarf growth characteristics which result in fewer mowings and lower maintenance costs. This outstanding cultivar shows good resistance to leaf spot and stem rust, stripe smut and dollar spot. University trials have documented Midnight's heat and drought tolerance.

Midnight is recommended for use on athletic fields, golf courses, sod blends, parks, professional landscapes, and home lawns areas where Kentucky bluegrass is adapted. It is compatible in blends with other darker green, lower growing bluegrasses and in mixtures with strong creeping red fescues and improved “II” and “III” series of turf-type perennial ryegrasses.

Midnight performs well in sand or heavy clay soils. Like all bluegrasses, it performs best in soils with a pH of 5.5 to 8.0. Three to five lbs. N/1000 sq. ft./year is adequate in most areas of the United states. However, because of Midnight’s dark genetic color, lower fertilizer rates will yield acceptable color. A balanced fertilizer of 3:1:2 ratio of NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) with sulphur is recommended in most geographic locations.

Midnight, like all bluegrasses, requires about 3 weeks for complete germination. Color may be observed before that time, however, in good growing weather where soil temperatures are above 65 degrees F., expect 3 to 4 weeks for a complete stand of grass. Midnight has good mowing qualities and can be maintained at a cutting height of 1/2 to 2 inches.

• New turf: 2 - 3 pounds per 1,000 square feet or 80 -120 lbs per acre
• Overseeding: 1 - 1 1/2 pounds per 1,000 square feet or 40 - 60 lbs per acre for broadcast overseeding
• Plant when soil temperature reaches 55 degrees in spring up until a minimum of 8 weeks before frost in fall
