Best seed blend for Utah?

Musgraveia · Apr 18, 2023

I live in Central Utah and am wanting to plant a new lawn this spring. I am thinking of going with a TTTF/KBG blend but I’m having a really hard time finding a good mix for my region. I go onto the NTEP website and look at their charts but I have absolutely no idea what to do with it. Would someone mind helping me figure out the best mix based on the fact that I live in Utah? Cheers!

Your local/state extension has a document for recommendations. Please see: Turfgrass Cultivars for Utah (usu.edu). I notice they have a few named varieties. It may be more difficult to source those. If you go for "certified, blue label" seed blends (TTTF/KBG as you mentioned), you can't go wrong if they advertise "uses top NTEP rated seeds; might change over time." This basically means they update their blends with some of the top performers ever so often. An example TTTF/KBG blend with some top performers is UnitedSeeds "Super Turf II".

I have an extra 10 lbs of Mazama *** blue label seed available if you want to mix your own blend.

I would follow @secured2k and purchase SuperTurf II for the mixture you’re looking for.
