What makes Kentucky's Best Grass Seed different

  • Deep emerald green color and soft texture
  • Self-spreading grass seed that fills bare spots
  • 99.9% weed free grass seed guarantee
  • 4 top-rated varieties in one 5 lb bag
  • A-LIST approved for quality and sustainability
  • Handles heat, drought, cold, and foot traffic

Ingredients

Kentucky's Best contains no chemical active ingredients. It's a blend of four premium grass varieties:

Kentucky bluegrass (2 types): Delivers deep emerald color, thick density, and self-spreading growth that fills gaps and bare spots over time

Perennial ryegrass (2 types): Establishes quickly for fast green-up, adds excellent wear tolerance, and keeps your lawn looking good through early spring and late fall

How to use

Plant in spring or fall when temps are between 55 to 75 degrees F, or try dormant seeding in winter below 40 degrees F.

  1. Choose your timing. Spring and fall give you the best window. Winter dormant seeding works too if temps stay below 40 degrees F.
  2. Apply at 2 lbs per 1,000 sq ft. This rate works for both overseeding and new lawns.
  3. Use a spreader at the lowest setting. Walk at a steady, consistent pace for even coverage.
  4. Keep seed moist, not soaked. Water lightly and regularly until germination, which takes 1 to 3 weeks. Patience here pays off.

When should I plant Kentucky's Best Grass Seed?

Plant Kentucky's Best Grass Seed in spring or fall when soil temps are 55 to 75 degrees F. You can also dormant seed in winter below 40 degrees F for a head start on spring.

How long does Kentucky's Best Grass Seed take to grow?

Kentucky's Best Grass Seed germinates in 8 to 21 days. Keep the seed moist but not oversaturated during that window, and you'll start seeing green shoots push through.

Can I overseed Kentucky bluegrass into my existing fescue lawn?

Yes. Kentucky's Best Grass Seed works well overseeded into fescue at 2 lbs per 1,000 sq ft. The bluegrass spreads through underground runners to fill thin spots your fescue can't reach.

How much water does Kentucky bluegrass need after seeding?

Keep Kentucky's Best Grass Seed consistently moist for 1 to 3 weeks until germination. Light, frequent watering works better than heavy soaking so the seed stays in place.

What makes Kentucky's Best different from pure Kentucky bluegrass seed?

Kentucky's Best Grass Seed blends 2 bluegrass varieties with 2 perennial ryegrass types for faster fill and stronger roots. It's 99.9% weed free with an 85% germination rate.

Does Kentucky's Best Grass Seed grow in shade?

Kentucky's Best Grass Seed grows in light shade to full sun across a wide range of soils. It thrives in northern and transitional climates with strong cold resilience.

    Love this seed.

    This was the first time using this seed. I put it in a certain place in the yard just to see what it would do. The seed just took off I was impressed with how fast it germinated. I can't wait until next year to see the full results.

    Grows quickly

    I used the seed to fill in patches and a couple of large bare spots in our yard. This was the first time I have reseeded a yard and it was easy. Went over the spots with a hand cultivator, spread the seeds with the Sunday handheld spreader and spread some compost over the top. It grew in a few weeks and completely filled in the spots. It made my yard look amazing!

    Great seeds and good looking grass!

    The seeds took about two weeks to start sprouting and they've been growing ever since. I am very satisfied with this purchase.
