Contractors and sod producers across the Southeast are excited about a new cool season turf option that is specifically bred for the transition zone. Fescue has been the standard for decades but maintaining acceptable turf quality during the summer has always been a challenge resulting in the need to overseed each fall.
Turf Breeders set out over 15 years ago to find a better suited cultivar and after years of research and trials, two new bluegrasses are coming to market. Southern Blue is now available for sale and another is in process of being released.
