Brief Description:
A blend of 80% Pureblue and 20% Thra Perennial Rye. A dense turf with medium fine blades and upright growth, it is very similar in appearance to Pureblue. The only subtle difference is a slightly lighter color and overall glossier appearance. More wear-resistant and drought-tolerant than Pureblue.

Recommended Use:
Residences, industrial parks, offices and other decorative applications.

Areas of Best Adaptability:
Classified as a cool-season grass, Ryeblue is not ideally suited to Southern California's warm transition-zone climate. It does best in more moderate coastal areas. Avoid inland valleys and other warm, arid regions. Ryeblue requires reasonably well-drained, amended soils.

Winter Color:
Green year-round.

Two inches high, mowed weekly.

 Minimal.
