Poa pratensis
Granite
Granite Kentucky Bluegrass (Poa pratensis) is a dark green, wear tolerant Midnight-type bluegrass with excellent summer stress tolerance. It tolerates a low mowing height for high maintenance turf, but can also be used for lower maintenance regimes. Granite is very dark green, dense and fine leaved, with exceptional turf quality and wear tolerance. It is an excellent summer performer under severe summer stress, and will persist indefinitely under demanding turfgrass conditions.
