    Product Description: 

    GCI is proud to be known for having “weed-free” grass seeds, 0% weed seed, and 0% other crop. They look for three basic things when choosing the varieties that go in their grass seed mixes/blends. It must be readily available to them, it must have an excellent history in the NTEP trials (National Turfgrass Evaluation Program), and it must be affordable. 

    Here’s what you can expect in your GCI Turf Blue Heat: 

    • MIDNIGHT: A unique Kentucky Bluegrass cultivar that produces a dense, fine leaf turf with dark green color and superior disease resistance. It also provides a dark green color, fine to medium leaf texture, and excellent density during the growing season. Midnight mixes well with other Kentucky Bluegrass, Perennial ryegrass, fine fescue, and tall fescue
    • NuGLADE: An elite, high-performance, dark green bluegrass. Tested for quality and turf performance in US/Canadian university trials for over 10 years. Trusted by turf managers the world over for premium performance, superior consistency.
    • AWARD: The ideal fairway bluegrass, able to perform at close mowing down to 0.5” (12 mm) and top-rated at mowing heights below 1” (25 mm). Or, bring that golf course look to your lawn, park, or sports field with Award’s luxurious dark green color and ground‐filling density that helps crowd out weeds. Award does well from alpine climates to the sizzling Transition Zone. It is the first elite bluegrass to excel at all maintenance levels, scoring high in trials for unirrigated, low-maintenance lawns while also scoring at the top for close‐mow tolerance, summer density, fall color, and turf quality in the Northeast region. Having been planted on over 100,000 acres of turf in over 20 countries, you can have confidence that Award will perform for you. According to unbiased test results, Award is top rated in spring density and ground cover, late fall (December) color and ground coverage, traffic and wear tolerance, Transition Zone endurance, shade tolerance, fewest seedheads in the turf, and fastest sod lifting (stretch resistance). Award scores high marks in pink snow mold, summer patch, necrotic ring spot, leaf rust, and anthracnose resistance and is one of Jacklin Seed’s best against dollar spot. Its dense nature fights encroachment of Poa annua.

    How much seed to use?

    • Overseeding into an existing KBG lawn: One – two (1-2) pounds per 1000 square feet.
    • Seeding bare ground: Three to four (3-4) pounds per 1000 square feet.

    When should you plant Blue Heat Kentucky Bluegrass (KBG) grass?

    Fall is a great time to seed Blue Heat KBG. You definitely do not want to seed Blue Heat KBG too late in the fall though. Plant Blue Heat KBG seed when soil temperatures are right around 60° F. Your air temperature should be around 75° to 85°at this time. To check your soil temperatures be sure and use a very high-quality SOIL THERMOMETER to ensure accuracy.

    Your Blue Heat KBG seed will need plenty of time to germinate because it takes anywhere from 14-30 days to germinate. Do not make the mistake and waiting too late to plant Blue Heat KBG seed. August 1st – September 15th is a great time frame depending on where you live in the country and what your soil and air temperatures are. Patience is required while waiting on KBG to sprout. We only recommend springtime seeding when absolutely necessary.

    Germination: 

    The trick to seed germination is to KEEP THE SEED MOIST! Water multiple times a day, light and frequently every day to ensure the ground and seed stays moist.

    Blue Heat KBG seed can take anywhere from 4 to 21 days to germinate depending on environmental conditions. Be patient…it will come up with time. Once you have germination you can slowly revert back to watering 1” per week…deep and infrequent.

    During hot, dry weather established Blue Heat KBG may need as much as 1.5” – 2” of water per week.
