varieties, is that it is best to plant two or three adapted varieties of Kentucky bluegrass together. Avoid planting a single variety alone. A blend of adapted varieties enables the turf to persist and to grow better under a wide range of conditions," Shoulders said.
In northern and western Virginia, where Kentucky bluegrass is adapted, a superior blend includes Merion Kentucky bluegrass, at the rate of 20 to 35 per cent by weight; Kenblue or South Dakota Certified Kentucky bluegrass, also at 10 to 35 per cent by weight; and one or two of the following varieties added at from between 10 to 30 per cent each by weight: Adelphi, Baron, Birka, Fylking, Plush, Sydsport or Victa. Packaged seed meeting the above requirements and displaying a “Maryland-Virginia recommended" identification tag is available in numerous localities.
When the blend is used in shaded areas, from 20 to 50 per cent by weight of Pennlawn or Jamestown red fescue may be added. Certified seed is preferred. Shoulders suggested that the use of tall fescue should be considered in locations, where bluegrass is not well1 suited, for play areas and for problem lawns. “Kentucky 31 tall fescue is tolerant to a greater range of climatic and soil conditions than is Kentucky bluegrass,” he said. “Kentucky 31 fescue is adapted to either sun or shade. It may be seeded alone or with up to 10 pier cent of Kenblue or South Dakota (Certified) Kentucky bluegrass.
