Hello
Wondering if anyone purchased Prosperity Kentucky Bluegrass from Twin City Seed? If so, what are your thoughts and do you recommend purchasing? I live here in Illinois. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

A little late but I had purchased it this past fall from twin city seed because its suppose to be one that gives off a blue hue. To early to tell its true potential but I have made a couple test plots with different kbg varieties and essentially tortured tested them with drought tolerance and prosperity did really well. Did better then Mazama, blue gem, and moonlight slt. Equal or maybe slightly lower then after midnight. Cant comment to much on the color yet. Defiantly darker then the mix of grass I had before without any inputs and I had the darkest grass on the block by far so next year should be a sight to see. I am in MN for comparison.

This is a 50% Prosperity, 40% Zinfandel, 10% Midnight. Purchased from The Hogan Seed Company. Seeded August 2023, the pictures are from this past spring. Very attractive mix especially under good fertilization. During the summer it got hammered with the long periods of no rain and drought. It bounced back but I kinda just let it do its thing didn’t want to stress it.

I tried helping it during the drought with just potassium and fungicide products to help manage along with all the watering I was doing and burned a section all the way in the back. This is where I ended up when I snapped the last picture. It’s more recovered now.
