When one hears the word bluegrass, the first association is often with a style of music that combines country and Celtic roots. But before there was the music with its banjos, fiddles and high-pitched lonely vocals, there were the blue grasses themselves, of which there are more than two hundred species.
Kentucky bluegrass, often associated with the Kentucky Derby, originated in Europe and Asia but was brought over to the United States during colonization. Horses love to munch on this grass that can grow to be two feet in height. While it is found naturally throughout much of the United States, it is also purchased frequently and takes root readily when seed is sprinkled in the soil.
Bulbous bluegrass is a another type of bluegrass, but it is found in subtropical and temperate areas. It too has its origins in Asia, and its name comes from the bulbs that form upon it and are ideal for planting. Bulbous bluegrass grows to be about a foot and a half tall and thrives in cooler weather, beginning to grow in the fall and lasting throughout the winter.
Another type is mutton bluegrass, which does well in extremely dry climates. It can be found wild across much of the United States, from the Great Lakes to Mexico, and it grows to be up to two feet in height. Mutton bluegrass derives its name from the fact that it is extremely nutritious and comprises much of the diet of sheep who are herded in areas where it grows.
Yet another variety of bluegrass is the rather self-explanatory big bluegrass, which is so named because it can reach heights of four feet. Many farmers use big bluegrass, which flourishes from spring into the fall, to replenish depleted fields, though they need to be careful not to allow their animals to overgraze, as that can cause major damage to it.
Other species of bluegrass include Texas, Canada, Sandberg and roughstalk, to name just a few. With 65 distinct species just in the United States, bluegrass is pervasive and, though you may not realize it, probably even more familiar to you than the music that bears its name.
