SS1100 Bluegrass Blend

Three Elite Kentucky Bluegrasses. One Exceptional Lawn.

For homeowners who want nothing but Kentucky bluegrass, SS1100 represents the very best modern bluegrass genetics available.

Rather than relying on a single cultivar, SS1100 combines three complementary elite Kentucky bluegrass varieties selected from independent university turfgrass trials. Each contributes unique strengths in color, disease resistance, density, and environmental adaptation, creating a lawn that is more resilient and visually appealing than any single variety alone.

Whether you’re establishing a new lawn or improving an existing one through overseeding, SS1100 delivers the rich color, fine texture, and self-repairing ability that have made Kentucky bluegrass the gold standard for premium cool-season lawns.

Why These Varieties Were Selected

Bluebank Kentucky Bluegrass

Bluebank represents the next generation of elite Kentucky bluegrass genetics. Often considered the natural successor to Midnight, it offers the same rich, dark green color while improving upon disease resistance and overall turf quality. Bluebank has earned outstanding ratings in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP), making it one of today’s premier bluegrass cultivars.

Lunar Kentucky Bluegrass

Lunar is recognized for its exceptional turf quality, deep green color, fine texture, and outstanding density. It has performed extremely well across both traditional cool-season climates and the transition zone, demonstrating excellent adaptability and long-term durability.

Mazama Kentucky Bluegrass

Mazama is widely regarded as one of the finest Kentucky bluegrass cultivars for lawns receiving moderate shade while still delivering outstanding performance in full sun. Its dark color, excellent turf quality, and strong resistance to stem rust make it an invaluable component of a premium bluegrass blend.

Selected from Proven Genetics

The cultivars in SS1100 are selected using results from the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) together with recommendations from leading university turfgrass programs, including the Virginia Cooperative Extension, which evaluates cultivars for long-term turf quality, disease resistance, color, and overall performance.

We continually update our blends as improved genetics become available, ensuring that SS1100 contains cultivars chosen for proven performance—not simply name recognition.

Why a Blend Instead of One Variety?

No single Kentucky bluegrass excels under every condition.

By combining three complementary elite cultivars, SS1100 provides:

• Exceptional dark green color
• Improved disease resistance
• Greater genetic diversity
• Superior year-round turf quality
• Better adaptability to varying site conditions
• Excellent self-repair through rhizome production

This diversity creates a lawn that is more resilient and consistent than a monostand of a single cultivar.
