Heat tolerant bluegrass

Thermal Blue

Scotts recently introduced a new bluegrass variety that thrives even south of the transition zone. It's called Thermal Blue.

Thermal Blue combines the heat tolerance of turf-type tall fescue with the exceptional turf qualities of Kentucky Bluegrass.

Not only does Thermal Blue stand up to heat extremely well, it shows outstanding shade hardiness, particularly in the South.

Thermal Blue vs Tall Fescue

Thermal Blue is is resistant to brown patch and other diseases, and its aggressive rhizome development gives it remarkable wear tolerance.

With a fine leave texture and four-season color in the southern regions, the grass produces a beautiful appearance as good or better than any other warm-season variety.

Where to Use

Northern and Southern lawns that receive full sun to light shade
Can be grown as far south as Atlanta and Dallas
Requires 4-10 hours of sunlight per day

When to Apply

Spring and Fall are the best times to plant grass seed because the seed germinates when temperatures are between 60°F - 80°F.
