Kentucky bluegrass
Common lawn species
Kentucky bluegrass is a common lawn and pasture grass with fine blue-green blades, widely used across North America for its dense, carpet-like growth.
Despite the name, it likely originated in Europe and became associated with Kentucky's limestone-rich soil, where it thrives in pastures for horses: a lawn of Kentucky bluegrass.
