New Grasses Guide Lawn Repair and Seed Choices
Ray Rothenberger Extension Horticulturist outlines lawn grass options for starting or repairing lawns. Kentucky bluegrass dominates Midwest lawns but prefers low nitrogen and regular fall fertilization, with blends of varieties like Arboretum Park and Kenblue providing durability for low maintenance. Elite varieties Merlon Fylking and Windsor suit well cared-for lawns, while ryegrass Manhattan and Pennfire blend best with bluegrasses. Fescue and red fescue tolerate shade, offering alternatives where bluegrass fades.
