Reinders Five Elite Blue Blend combines five elite bluegrasses ideally suited for use by golf courses, sod producers and anyone else that desires a bluegrass turf. The selection of Kentucky bluegrasses provides outstanding turf quality across a broad range of environmental conditions and all have a high level of disease resistance. In addition, all five cultivars are compatible for leaf texture and color. Other qualities exhibited by the five cultivars include excellent shade tolerance, great seedling vigor, early spring green-up, late fall color, good drought tolerance, rapid establishment, superior sod strength and outstanding summer density.
Five Elite Blue Blend is highly recommended for golf course tees, fairways and aprons where a highly aggressive turf that can be maintained at a cutting height as low as 3/4" is desired. It is also extremely useful for intermediate roughs surrounding bentgrass fairways. Its dark green color frames the lighter green bentgrass beautifully and by maintaining it at 3/4" to 7/8" height of cut, one can extend the fairway playing surface without greatly increasing maintenance costs. Five Elite Blue Blend is also excellent for sod producers or for premium lawns requiring the uniformity of pure stands of elite bluegrasses. It blends well with most commercially produced premium sod and is extremely useful where a combination of seed and sod are required to complete the landscape.
Maintenance
Armada, Fielder, Blue Velvet, Granite, and Mercury are all aggressive, elite cultivars of Kentucky Bluegrass that respond well to 1/2-1 LB N/1,000 SQ FT growing month. Generally, 3-4 LBS of nitrogen per year are required for best performance. Under conditions of heavy traffic or low cutting heights, the higher rates will provide optimum performance.
