Quick Facts

APPALACHIAN is a new and improved Kentucky bluegrass variety that is excellent for sod farms, sports fields, landscapers, and retail. Appalachian bluegrass will be up and green in the spring before most other bluegrasses are starting to come out of winter dormancy. The dark green color mixes well with other species to prevent the mottled look. Appalachian is an excellent choice every time.

Appalachian was developed with quick establishment in mind. It is wear tolerant and repairs itself by rhizomes. Excellent for usage worldwide where other cool season grasses grow.
