No species blends, no compromises: just the species that park superintendents, sports fields, and demanding homeowners have chosen for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Pure Kentucky Bluegrass?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost lawn seeds sold in Quebec are multi-species blends. Blends have their advantages – diversity, resilience, adaptation to different conditions. Our TERRAIN range offers precisely these optimized solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut some homeowners want something else. They want \u003cstrong\u003ethe density of a golf course, the dark green color of a magazine page, and the self-repairing ability that only a pure rhizomatous grass can offer\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is exactly what Kentucky bluegrass delivers when planted as a monoculture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this species does better than all others\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Density\u003c\/strong\u003e – Kentucky bluegrass spreads via underground rhizomes.
