Kentucky bluegrass is the most widely used turfgrass in Minnesota and is ideal for full-sun yards. This type of seed grows rapidly during cool, moist weather, with slower growth during hot, dry weather. With moderate watering, Kentucky bluegrass seed forms a long-lasting, dense turf. It can be used either on its own or mixed with perennial ryegrass seed for optimal full-sun growth.

Fine-leafed fescues are cool-season turfgrasses that are more shade-tolerant and adaptable to dry soil conditions. They also require minimal maintenance. In Minnesota, native fine fescue species include red fescue, chewings fescue, and hard fescue. Our Legacy Fine Fescue grass seed offers the perfect blend of all three varieties.

If you live in southern Minnesota, you’ll want to choose a drought-tolerant grass seed that can hold up in the warmer summer temperatures and especially during dry spells. Turf-type tall fescue (TTTF) is the best type of grass seed for these areas and will stay green even with less frequent watering. Combat Extreme Northern is a fast-establishing, resilient TTTF grass seed that is perfect for Minnesota residential lawns.

Looking for a low-maintenance Minnesota grass seed that thrives even in challenging growing conditions, including low-moisture soil, shade, and heavy foot traffic? Hard fescue is your answer. As one of the most drought-tolerant grass seeds for Minnesota lawns, hard fescue grass seed produces a lush, green, year-round landscape, even with minimal upkeep.
