Blue grasses are among the most popular types of lawn grasses available on the commercial market. Although one of the most common types is Kentucky blue grass, numerous varieties exist. Maintaining a blue grass lawn requires adequate planting, a thorough blending for best performance, and proper watering.
Blue grass tends to prefer full sun exposure for the best results. While it will tolerate some shade, an area with many trees will prevent blue grass from growing to the fullest extent. It is widely planted throughout the United States, but does not tolerate high temperatures as well as other varieties of lawn grass. A blue grass lawn tends to provide the best results in regions without high temperatures and where it can receive adequate rain.
A blend of blue grass and other lawn grass will typically allow for a hardier lawn. Perennial rye grass, or creeping red fescue are common partners for blue grass blends. Creeping red fescue grows better in shaded areas where blue grass has difficulty. Rye grass provides more durability for wear-and-tear upon the lawn. Blue grass and rye grass blends are often seeded upon athletic fields or grass playgrounds. A blend can provide composite coverage, with each breed of grass covering the partner’s weakness. A typical blue grass blend may consist of 10-25% of rye grass or creeping red fescue.
Blue grass typically suffers during the summer months. It may go dormant if a high heat threshold is reached. Blue grass has only moderate resistance to drought. While it can repair itself to some degree, it is not as regenerative as other varieties of lawn grass. Proper watering may be needed during the summer months or during periods of high heat in order to keep a blue grass lawn alive. Once dormant, a blue grass lawn can be quite susceptible to unwanted weeds or disease.
With proper planning and maintenance, a blue grass lawn can provide a solid investment in a backyard or around the home. Blue grass lawns are dense and excellent for a wide variety of outdoor uses. With proper maintenance, a perennial blue grass lawn can be enjoyed for many years.
No, it is just a phrase. However, there are some grasses that are named "blue", but they are green, not blue.
I don't know how to get many Blue Grasses easily though, but I know hot to get many Black Grasses. Go to the mine and crush some rocks and you will find Black Grasses.
