Mercury

Mercury Kentucky Bluegrass (Poa pratensis) has the high shear strength needed for sports fields and sod production from its father, P-105, combined with the shade and drought tolerance from its Compact America type mother. Fast germination and quick establishment makes it the perfect bluegrass for new stands or overseeding.
