Commonly known as SSMG (Smooth Stalked Meadowgrass), Kentucky Bluegrass is a perennial species of grass native to practically all of Europe, North Asia and the mountains of Algeria and Morocco. Although the species is spread over all of the cool, humid parts of the United States, it is not native to North America. The Spanish Empire brought the seeds of Kentucky bluegrass to the New World in mixtures with other grasses.
Kentucky Bluegrass forms a valuable pasture plant, characteristic of well-drained, fertile soil. It is also used for making lawns in parks and gardens and is common in cool moist climates like the North-eastern United States.

Sowing & Growing
Sow at a rate of 50g per m2 for new lawn
Sow at a rate of 35g per m2 for overseeding
Split each square metre’s worth of seed in half and scatter seed in one direction across a square and then spread the rest in the opposite direction.
After sowing, lightly rake over the area and water.
Seedlings are susceptible to drought, so keep them watered during dry spells. Test your soil regularly by pushing your fingers into it.
Carefully weed the area by hand, removing any weeds before they flower. As the grass continues to grow, it will stifle weed growth.
When the new lawn is 5cm (2in) high, cut with a rotary mower to 2.5cm (1in). Carefully rake up the clippings. Do this for the next four cuts.
