Quick Facts

RHYTHM is a new generation Compact-Midnight-type Kentucky bluegrass. Rhythm exhibits darker genetic color and improved resistance to leaf spot diseases when compared with competing varieties. Rhythm also demonstrated better density and winter color than other Midnight types in recent trials at Rutgers University.

 

RHYTHM was developed for heat tolerance. It is an excellent choice for areas in the southern edge of the Kentucky bluegrass growing region. It is wear tolerant and repairs itself with rhizomes.
