Best of the Blues blends Midnight, Blacksburg II and Denim Kentucky bluegrass varieties from Turf-Seed. With a broad area of adaptation, Best of the Blues provides quality, performance, and economy for both new lawns and renovation.

Brilliant Kentucky bluegrass is a hybrid forming a low-growing turf with a moderately aggressive, spreading growth habit and fine leaf texture. It also exhibits excellent heat tolerance and highly rated bluegrass drought tolerance. Compatible with other elite bluegrasses, such as Moonlight, Midnight II, and Moonbeam, Brilliant is an excellent bluegrass for all applications: home, commercial, sports turf, and sod production. 

An excellent component in bluegrass blends, Full Moon is perfect for sod production, residential and commercial lawns, and for use in parks and cemeteries. Full Moon has good heat tolerance and also exhibits excellent resistance to stem rust and stripe rust.

High Noon establishes faster than most bluegrasses, forming a moderately dense turf with excellent turf quality. Tolerant of mowing heights to 0.5", it is well suited in blends and mixes for golf fairways, sod production, and all professional sports turf uses. Excellent for all Kentucky bluegrass uses, including sports turf, sod production, and parks and recreation.

A cross between Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) and Texas bluegrass (Poa arachnifera), Longhorn TM is well suited for bluegrass turf applications in temperate climates for improved heat and drought tolerance. Longhorn TM mixes well with most other cool-season grasses such fine fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and tall fescue. Because of the Texas bluegrass component, Longhorn TM is well suited to the turfgrass transition zone of the USA, with temperate-to-hot summers and more temperate winters. 

A class unto itself, Midnight is the strongest performing, most popular elite Kentucky bluegrass ever developed. With a dark green, compact growth habit, Midnight's unique beauty and performance have stood out in NTEP, private, and university trials for more than 20 years.  Midnight has set the bluegrass bar since 1984 and is still the recognized standard of quality. 

Midnight II features improved performance, a darker green color, and significantly improved wear tolerance. It has very good summer and heat performance, strong resistance to billbugs, and solid low-mow performance to 0.5”. All in all, Midnight II is a quality addition for all cool-season grasses, which is very compatible with very dark elite Kentucky bluegrasses such as Moonlight and Midnight Star.

Demonstrating very good summer performance in the Southeast, and very good summer and fall density, Midnight Star has very good resistance to disease, including stripe rust and Rhizoctonia sheath spot. It is an excellent component in all cool-season mixes and is compatible with very dark elite Kentucky bluegrasses, including Midnight, Moonlight, and Rita. It exhibits very good performance at cutting heights of 1” or more and is a great choice for home and commercial lawns, sports turf, golf courses near roughs, and in parks and cemeteries.

Moonbeam possesses a low growth habit, producing turf with dark green color and a fine leaf texture. Adapted to well-drained soils with a pH range of 5.5–7.5, it has excellent resistance to rust and good resistance to leaf spot and Fusarium.

With its one-of-a-kind dark blue-green color and its stand-alone performance, Moonlight is comparable to the “Midnight” types of Kentucky bluegrass and will improve the performance of any bluegrass blend. It grows well in full sun and has above-average shade performance—expect excellent performance in both cool-humid and cool-arid zones. It can be mowed to as low as 0.5”–1.0” and blends well with other elite bluegrasses such as Midnight II, Midnight Star, North Star, and Brilliant.

Moderately compact, Moonlight SLT exhibits a medium leaf texture, medium density, and a very unique dark blue-green color. It features strong tolerance to high saline and low-light conditions as well as improved response to drought stress.  Moonlight SLT is designed for all bluegrass applications such as sod production, golf courses and sports turf, parks and recreational areas, home and commercial lawns, and in blends and mixes. 

With its medium leaf texture and medium-dark green color, Moonshine is adapted to well-drained soils with a pH range of 5.5–7.5. It is known for its high seed yield and excellent wear tolerance. Moonshine has very good leaf spot resistance and good stem rust and stripe smut resistance. It is an excellent choice for Kentucky bluegrass blends.

An outstanding component for sports turf, for wear tolerance and where an aggressive growth habit is required to repair damage, North Star performs well at low-to-high rates of nitrogen. It is ideal for areas where salinity is a limiting factor, and also has excellent overall disease resistance. North Star is a top bluegrass for both cool-humid and cool-arid zones, and it is an excellent performer when mowed to just 1/2”. It is a truly unique bluegrass for high-use turf—a must for athletic field blends.

Prosperity has a low growth habit and high density, with a medium-fine leaf texture and a very dark blue-green color. It is adapted to well-drained soils with a pH range of 5.5–7.5. Prosperity demonstrates high heat tolerance as well as good leaf spot resistance and excellent stripe rust resistance. It is a low-mow blue, which can be cut to just 1/2” of height.

New SPF 30 produces a high percentage of living ground cover throughout the summer. It recovers quickly from drought and is resistant to brown patch. SPF 30, with its aggressive rhizome activity, improves the ability of tall fescues to recover when combined with them in a mix. SPF 30 is an excellent, medium-bladed bluegrass for landscape contractors, sports turf managers, and golf course superintendents who are battling the stress of summer heat.

Voyager II establishes quickly, with a dense growth habit and low canopy height. Like its predecessor, Voyager II has strong heat and drought tolerance, and good resistance to disease. Voyager II is an ideal bluegrass component in blends and mixes for parks, roadsides, medians, and other large, low-maintenance turf areas.
