Bluegrass belongs to the grass family of Poaceae, which comprises more than 500 species of grass. Bluegrasses are found in temperate and tropical climates worldwide, and several have naturalized in areas outside their native range. Many species are useful as lawn, pasture, and forage grasses, and some are cultivated as ornamentals.
Kentucky bluegrass (Poa Pratensis) is the best known in North America. It was introduced to Kentucky from Eurasia. It helps to make the thoroughbreds healthy, big, and strong. It is 30 to 100 cm (12 to 40 inches) tall, with soft, blue-green leaves and its creeping rootstalks form a good sod. Kentucky bluegrass grows strong in the limestone watered, green pastures.
Bluegrass may refer to music also, which we will discuss next time.
