Best Answer

Kentucky is also known as The Bluegrass State. Bluegrass is not really blue - it's green - but in the spring it has bluish-purple buds that give a rich blue cast to the grass in fields. In early pioneer days, traders began asking for the seed of the 'blue grass from Kentucky.' The name stuck and it is still called that today.
