Jackrabbit

Description

Jackrabbit Kentucky Bluegrass (Poa pratensis) (PST-K10-106D) is a Julia-type that jumps out of the ground and starts spreading - ideal for sod growers, sports fields and home lawns. It also has excellent turf quality under all maintenance regimes (excels under low maintenance and in high stress environments). Jackrabbit is an A-List cultivar that shows low maintenance performance, and is one of the few Julia types on the market, known for superior wear tolerance. Jackrabbit has a dark green color, which it retains into the winter and early spring green-up. This cool season growth helps reduce Poa annua invasion. It demonstrates high resistance to a broad range of diseases including Summer Patch, Dollar Spot, Leaf Spot, Crown Rust and Stem Rust.
