Adaptation:
Grows best during cool, moist weather on well-drained, fertile soils.
Management:
It is slightly slower to establish than many other cool-season grasses. However, once established, it spreads quickly via extensive rhizome production.
Planting Date:
March-May, Aug. 15-31
Seeding: 30 lbs/acre alone for pasture or 4-10 lbs/acre in a mix. 100-150 lbs alone for lawns.
