Arcadia
Arcadia Kentucky Bluegrass was developed from a unique cross of Midnight and Limousine Kentucky bluegrasses, and is classified as a Compact Midnight type with an aggressive growth habit. Selected by Seed Research of Oregon agronomists for its superior performance in many areas, Arcadia is a dark green, fine textured Kentucky bluegrass with excellent disease resistance. This variety is a high demand, very popular bluegrass among sod farms and other elite project managers. Getting turf to look good is the easy part. Getting that same turf to stand up to constant traffic, high levels of use and abuse is something else. Arcadia Kentucky Bluegrass is a perfect fit for everything from sports fields to golf course fairways and tees, as well as sod production, and landscaped lawns. With color ratings equal or better than Midnight, and distinctive performance characteristics all its own, Arcadia gives you beautiful turf that’s built for top-notch performance today, tomorrow, and beyond. Top ranked in two NTEP trials across the USA, Arcadia exhibits superior turf quality under mowing heights ranging from 1/2 inch golf fairways to 3 inch home lawns. It has exceptional sod strength and high traffic wear tolerance. And, Arcadia is superior longer, greening up earlier with year round high density and low weed invasion. With its high disease, drought, and heat tolerance, Arcadia is built to take the summer sun when other bluegrasses are stressed and brown.
