Looking at some KBG lawn seeds and came across Midnight on seedland.com.
A very dark blue-green color
Dwarf growth habit
Very high tiller density
Drought tolerance
Strong overall disease resistance
Good tolerance to close mowing
More than 15 years of proven performance
This outstanding cultivar shows good resistance to leaf spot and stem rust, stripe smut and dollar spot. University trials have documented Midnight's heat and drought tolerance.
Because of its very noticeable dark green color you may need to use caution with using Midnight to overseed high visual-impact sports field stands. Proper / even overseeding must be used. Midnight is at its best when used as a pure mono-stand lawn grass... but it also can be mixed into existing KBG stands to improve home lawns
Sod producers and homeowners alike will enjoy Midnight's dwarf growth characteristics which result in fewer mowings and lower maintenance costs.
Costs about $200 for a 50lb bag.
What do you think of using this to reseed a new lawn? Is it foolish to just seed with pure KBG or should I use a blend. If you recommend a blend is it only because of shade considerations?
