However, this grass is less heat-tolerant than tall fescue and tends to struggle in the summer heat. For this reason, it\u2019s especially suited for the upper parts of eastern Kentucky, in counties like Manson and Elliot.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kentucky bluegrass does not tolerate shade. It has poor traffic tolerance, but because of its aggressive rhizomes, it recovers well, being used in athletic fields throughout the state. A perfect grass for full-sun lawns in upper eastern Kentucky, there are many cultivars in the market with improved disease resistance and drought tolerance.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kentucky bluegrass is often mixed with other cool-season grasses for better performance.

Zoysiagrass is not often used as a lawn in the state, but it is highly adaptable. In eastern Kentucky, Zoysiagrass can do especially well in the southern portion, from Pike to Cumberland counties, where the winters are slightly milder than the upper regions.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zoysiagrass is susceptible to winterkill but overall is very persistent once established and has an excellent traffic tolerance.
