Granite Kentucky Bluegrass is a premium Midnight-type Kentucky bluegrass engineered for exceptional turf performance, dark genetic color, superior wear tolerance, and outstanding summer stress resistance. Designed for professional-quality lawns and sports turf, Granite produces a dense, fine-bladed turf that maintains excellent appearance and durability under both high-maintenance and moderate-maintenance conditions.
This elite Kentucky bluegrass variety is highly adaptable and performs exceptionally well on golf course tees and fairways, sports fields, parks, commercial landscapes, and luxury residential lawns.
