SR 2286
SR 2286 Kentucky Bluegrass is a premium cool-season turfgrass known for its dark green color, excellent growth in cooler temperatures, and vibrant spring and fall hues. With its superior drought resistance and rapid recovery capabilities, it is well-suited for high-traffic areas like sports fields and home lawns. SR 2286 exhibits exceptional summer patch resistance, ensuring a healthier lawn even under challenging conditions.
As a cool-season grass, SR 2286 thrives during the cooler months of fall, winter, and spring while slowing growth in the warmer summer months. It prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade, making it adaptable for various landscapes. While highly durable in cold climates, it has moderate tolerance for heat and drought, with the ability to go dormant when stressed. SR 2286 boasts quick recovery from moderate wear, making it a reliable choice for regions with cool climates and high lawn activity.
