Kentucky bluegrass is adapted to a wide range of mineral and organic soils.
However, it is most productive on fertile well-drained soils with a pH greater than five. It grows best in humid areas at air temperatures between 15 and 32 o C and is one of our most cold-hardy grasses. The climate and soils in Manitoba are well adapted to the production of Kentucky bluegrass. The major market for this seed is the lawn grass industry. The price fluctuates in response to the general economy and the amount of activity in the housing industry.
