Use certified seed
The Extension Division of Virginia Tech and the University of Maryland have developed a seed labeling system, which is being used for Kentucky bluegrass. These seeds and blends adhere to the quality standards of the Division. They are inspected and certified by the Virginia Crop Improvement Association not to have grave weed contaminants and possess only those species recommended by the two institutions. Prior to recommendation, each variety has to pass through minimum three years of testing at different locations in the two states. Seeds packed with a burnt orange label contains high quality mix of improved Kentucky bluegrass, while those with a yellow label have Kentucky bluegrass with creeping red fescue added to attain shade tolerance and perennial ryegrass for fast growth.
