Kentucky bluegrass, is a perennial, cool-season, sod-forming grass native to Europe. Seedhead stems are 18 to 24 inches tall, but can be 4 to 6 inches in height when used for intensive grazing. The seedhead has an open shape like a pyramid and produces many small seeds. There are approximately 2,177,000 seeds per pound. Leaves are 6 to 12 inches long and boat-shaped (keeled) at the tips. Leaves are smooth, soft, and about 1/8 to 1/4 inch wide. The plant becomes dormant during the heat of summer, but regains or maintains its green color in fall. Growth starts early in the spring. Tiller buds develop into stems or rhizomes. New rhizomes also arise from nodes of older rhizomes. Most rhizomes penetrate 2 to 4 inches into the soil, but some will go down more than 5 inches.
