Choose Bella™ Bluegrass
Bella™ Bluegrass, the only dwarf, vegetative bluegrass in the turf industry, is sure to revolutionize the bluegrass market. It will only grow 2″-5″ tall, so you will only have to mow once or twice a year. Bella™ has a extremely beautiful dark green color, and a very soft blade. Compared to other bluegrass standards, Bella™ has a very good rhizome system and better tolerates heat and drought. It also has much higher shade tolerance than your typical buegrass varities. Bella™ thrives in cold climates, and will grow in sand, sandy loam, clay or peat. You can expect Bella™ to retain fall color longer than many other turf selections and to green-up more quickly in the spring.
Most shipping is done on Mondays and Tuesdays to try to prevent plugs from sitting in a warehouse or on a truck over the weekend. Since we ship from the middle of the US, we are able to reach both coasts by Friday.
