| My husband wants to know what variety of grass this is. Our neighbors entire yard is 70% mix of this and a 30% mix of rye and fescue.
Our lawn is mostly rye and fescue, but there are round clumps of this growing in it is as well, most likely from the neighbors lawn. It is about a quarter of an inch thick, grows two or three times faster than rye/fescue, and is extremely drought resistant. It will grow fast and green even when the rest of the lawns are yellow and dormant.

| We call that crabgrass here, but that might be incorrect. |

| Could be K-31 tall fescue. |

| He treats for crabgrass seasonally. In the lawn, it looks nothing like crabgrass. |

| He just checked out k31 on Google and is convinced that is it! Thank you tiemco. Our neighbor across the street mentioned he had an amazing drought resistant grass called Kentucky *something*. His lawn is a heavy mix of standard Michigan grass types (fescue, kb, p rye) and a lot of this stuff (k-31). It stays green all year, stays thick, and grows fast. He is excited and is going to do more investigating. thank you |
