Geographical Area
of Adaptation:
Galaxy Blend is adapted to northern bluegrass areas, and its
resistance to fusarium blight should extend its usage to areas
where temperatures and humidity would discourage the use of
bluegrass in turf. |

Soil, Climate and Fertility Requirements:
This blend performs well in sand or heavy clay soils, and like all
bluegrasses, performs best in soils with a pH of 5.5 to 8.0. Three
to five lbs. N(Nitrogen)/1000 sq. ft./year is adequate in most areas
of the United States. However, because of Midnight's dark genetic
color, lower fertilizer rates will yield acceptable color. A
balanced fertilizer of 3:1:2 ratio of NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus,
Potassium) with sulphur is recommended in most geographic locations.
Stand establishment:
Galaxy, like all bluegrasses, requires about 3 weeks for complete
germination. Color may be observed before that time, however, in
good growing weather where soil temperatures are above 65 degrees
F., expect 3 to 4 weeks for a complete stand of grass.
Seeding Rates:
If Establishing a New Lawn: 2-3 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft.
If Overseeding Your Existing Lawn: 2 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft.
