Pro Sportsfield Big Blue™
All Season Turfgrass Mixture
Description
Advances in turfgrass genetics have led to the development of all season turfgrass mixtures for high use conditions. Since mild weather conditions in California encourage year round use of sportsfields it is practical to have a turfgrass mixture that performs well under cool and warm season conditions. Kentucky Bluegrass spreads by rhizomes which improve turf quality, density and traffic tolerance which makes it ideal for inclusion with bermudagrass as an actively growing, all year sportsfield.
This mixture is a TWCA qualified product which means that the grass varieties in this mixture have successfully met a stringent set of documented criteria and have proven water conservation benefits.
