BAYSIDE BLUE - Self repairing

FOR USE ON SPORTS FIELDS, GOLF COURSES, and MANICURED LANDSCAPES.

 West Coast Turf’s Bayside Blue is made up of the top bluegrass cultivars on the market combining improved heat and cold tolerance with excellent disease resistance for wider adaptability.  It does well in temperate regions of the west, including Northern California and the Pacific Coast.  It is the favorite choice for golf courses and sports fields at high altitudes where cold winter weather and heavy snow loads demand a disease resistant turf with great recovery from winter dormancy.  Bayside Blue has a classic blue-green color, with medium-fine leaves, making for a carpet-like cushion.  It is moderately tolerant of shade, foot traffic, and low mowing heights.
