A Texas Bluegrass Hybrid
Developed through a partnership between Texas A&M and NG Turf, Sunbelt Blue™ is an innovative cool season cross between Texas and Kentucky bluegrass. Sunbelt stands up to Southeastern summers better than fescue, while remaining cold hardy and keeping its bright green color year round. It performs with superior resistance to disease as well. Sunbelt’s rhizomatous root system provides heat and drought resistance and also allows it recover from stress and damage—unlike fescue, which requires overseeding.
