@Still learnin I don't think it's truly an improvement on the better bluegrass cultivars, but you will probably get more knowledgeable responses in the cool season forum.

 

Texas bluegrass is what I would ditch my Latitude 36 for. Its too new so you'd be hard pressed to find it in a lawn. But yeah, it supposedly puts all warm-season grasses to shame. KBG on steroids really. I'd love to try it. There are several reports and studies on it. Just no real world personal data out there.

 

The two best cultivars out there that you can buy (currently) are called SPF 30 and Thermal Blue.

It's nice looking grass no doubt. I would have to have almost perfect yard drainage to sustain it, which is why i have left it alone for now.

 

Why would you need perfect drainage versus st Augustine or another grass?

St aug can survive being over saturated in clay soil. Bluegrass will struggle.

 

I wonder what's the price of this turf? Im interested in learning more about this

+1 I think it probably has a slightly better drought tolerance but it's still KBG so it will still struggle in the heat without adequate water. You have to take some of the claims made by these sod producers with a grain of salt.

Dude you just bought a stander. I ban you from considering new grass

A&M created it. It's just about the heat tolerance. It does work better. I've seen it in person. But in terms of drought tolerance, it's on par with what you'd expect.

Thermal Blue has been around a while, and Scotts uses it in some cool season mixes. I know because I seeded with it a few months ago. I believe it's a hybrid cultivar...hybrid of a Texas Bluegrass and a Kentucky Bluegrass. But I believe there are also several straight Texas Bluegrass (non-hybrid) cultivars available on the market, too.

:lol: I'm not going to buy it. I'm just curious of the cost compared to a pallet of flortam.
