Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) is a widely used turfgrass in many temperate-climate areas of the United States and around the world.
It is popular because it is an adaptable, longlived perennial that forms a medium-textured, dark green turf with good leaf density and
aggressive sod-forming rhizomes.
