Quick Facts 

GERONIMO is a medium dark green Kentucky bluegrass that has good seedling vigor, fast establishment, and excellent wear tolerance. Its aggressive rhizomes and good tillering ability allows for rapid filling of bare areas. In addition, Geronimo has excellent spring green-up and density. It has shown good resistance to leafspot and yellow rust.

 

GERONIMO is widely adapted throughout the cool humid regions of North America. Its wear resistance and slow vertical growth makes it suitable for parks, playgrounds, home owners, and highway departments.
