Narrative
Blue Velvet is a late maturing Kentucky bluegrass variety, resembling Award in growth habit and seedhead appearance. Anthesis date is a day or two earlier than Total Eclipse and Award. Panicles at anthesis are mostly green in color with slightly more purple tone than in Total Eclipse. Leaf texture in seed production is very fine and leaves are mostly upright, though some are prostrate. Rhizome spread from a spaced plant averages 26 cm, however this measurement was taken from August-planted spaced plants.
