Where it comes from
The Washington Difference
More than 90% of the world’s Kentucky Bluegrass comes from the farms of the Pacific Northwest, and a large part of it comes from Washington.
Washington produces some of the highest quality turfgrass seed in the world. Our climate is ideal for turfgrass seed production and affords producers the ability for a quick turnaround. In general, Washington turfgrass seed planted in August may be harvested the following July.
The eastern side of the state produces the majority of the turfgrass seed in the region.
