Canada Bluegrass - Poa compressa

Comments:

Canada bluegrass is a cold-tolerant, fine-textured bluegrass with a creeping habit. Its natural growing range is well-adapted to northern cool climates (Example: Canada and the northern United States). It is usually planted as a low maintenance turf, because it can survive even in very poor soil.

It's often used in conservation areas, on banks, and in hard-to-access areas. Its preference is full or partial sun and can tolerate moist to dry conditions, even poor soil containing too much sand, rocky material, or clay.

Canada Bluegrass was originally introduced as a source of forage for dry pastures with poor soil. It has since spread into other areas.

Optimum Mowing Height: 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10 cm)
