Product Overview
HGT Kentucky Bluegrass Blend with Yellow Jacket is a superior quality blend of Kentucky bluegrass developed with Barvette HGT and HGT Technology. With this technology, it is outstanding on wear recovery, percent of area covered, turf quality, traffic tolerance. This HGT Kentucky Bluegrass Blend has shown resistance to summer patch, a serious turf disease that causes damage to most Kentucky bluegrass varieties. HGT Kentucky Bluegrass Blend with Yellow Jacket provides professional solutions to common bluegrass challenges such as disease, insect pests, slow establishment, and excessive traffic. Offers an outstanding bluegrass turf performance for sports field groundskeeper or the golf course superintendent to withstand the challenges of the game. Available in 10 lb. and 25 lb. bags.
HGT Kentucky Bluegrass Blend with Yellow Jacket is coated with Yellow Jacket Enhanced Seed Coating. Yellow Jacket is like having a sponge around each and every seed. Once water is applied, the coating holds that moisture and other nutrients around the seed - making them available as needed for germination and establishment. Without coating, the water simply passes the seed allowing it to dry out, resulting in more frequent watering and increased expense.HGT Kentucky Bluegrass Blend with Yellow Jacket was previously packaged as Turf Blue HGT with Yellow Jacket. Same great product, just new name and packaging!

Awesome seed. Like all KBG, germination takes a little while. Once estimated mows well either with a conventional mower or 1/2 inch high with a reel mower.
Yellow Jacket coating

I just put it down yesterday. I have read that a lot of coated seeds will not go cycle through a drop spreader. This one does it through my Scott's easily.

Helpful Q&A'sQDoes the stated weight of HGT Kentucky Bluegrass Blend with Yellow Jacket include the weight associated with the coating?If the weight of the bag is 10lb and the yellow jacket coating is 50% of this, then I'm wondering why the seeding rate is 2-3lb/1000 instead of 4-6lb/1000.AWe reached out to the manufacturer of the Turf Blue HGT with Yellow Jacket seed regarding this question and this was their response: "We don’t double the seeding rate even though there is half …
Read Full Answer »We reached out to the manufacturer of the Turf Blue HGT with Yellow Jacket seed regarding this question and this was their response: "We don’t double the seeding rate even though there is half the seed as we’ve done trials that have shown equal or greater turf performance and establishment comparing our yellow jacket seed enhancement to the same seeds without coating. Basically more seeds survive and get off to a better start with the addition of yellow jacket so it takes less seed to get the same turf coverage. The product performs best in non-ideal conditions, such as home lawns that are under or over irrigated, golf courses and sports fields in sandy soils, or areas that don’t receive any irrigation at all. The products we want people to be on the lookout for are those with coatings that don’t provide any benefit to the seed itself, so it is good to hear customers ask these questions! This seed enhancement contains some fertilizer, superabsorbent, disease protection, and is brightly colored to help avoid seeding skips."QWhat bluegrass cultivars are in HGT Kentucky Bluegrass Blend with Yellow Jacket?ACurrently the Turf Blue HGT with Yellow Jacket contains the following seed blend per the manufacturer: 14.83?rvette HGT KYBG 9.88?rserati KYBG 9.74?rrister KYBG 7.45 Barduke KYBG 7.37?rimpala K…
