By now it should already be cleaned up from any debris, snow mold, leaves, and thatch from the cold winter. If it hasn\u2019t been cleaned up, now is the time to do so before buying grass seed to cover any brown and spots which are bare.<\/p>    <p>Finding grass seed to plant in your area can be easy, but there are usually a mind-numbing amount of choices and it can be difficult to figure out which grass seed will grow best in your area. Make sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/grass-seed\/grow-grass-from-seed\/\">choose the grass seed<\/a> that will match what you already have grown so there is a smooth seamless surface from the old grass to the new grass.

It will form a high-quality, long-lasting, and fine-textured turf. It grows by producing rhizomes which new bluegrass plants grow from. Because of the rhizomes, Kentucky Bluegrass can recover rapidly from an injury and also fill in an area which is thin. It\u2019s winter hardy and can withstand extreme moisture and temperatures. If there is a hot dry period, it will go dormant and lose its color. If you want to keep color during a hot summer, then the grass will need to be watered (and follow these other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/ohio\/cleveland\/summer-lawn-care-tips-cleveland-oh\/\">summer lawn care tips for Cleveland<\/a>, too).<\/p>    <p><strong>Lawn mowing height:<\/strong> All the varieties of Kentucky Bluegrass should be mowed to a height of 2-2 \u00bd inches.<\/p>    <p><b>Grass Seed Options: <\/b><b><br><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Jonathan-Green-Maker-Grass-3-Pound\/dp\/B003AYR3FI?crid=27GQP3B1R3AD0&amp;keywords=kentucky+blue+grass+seeds+for+lawn&amp;qid=1679595025&amp;sprefix=kentucky+blue+grass+seed%2Caps%2C125&amp;sr=8-25&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnstarterla-20&amp;linkId=992e40d3b70e4e06f03e1dea0e878d92&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jonathan Green (11970) Blue Panther Kentucky Bluegrass Grass Seed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (3 lbs.)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SeedRanch-Midnight-Kentucky-Bluegrass-Certified\/dp\/B00GGSM6FM?crid=27GQP3B1R3AD0&amp;keywords=kentucky+blue+grass+seeds+for+lawn&amp;qid=1679594926&amp;sprefix=kentucky+blue+grass+seed%2Caps%2C125&amp;sr=8-6&amp;ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.d977788f-1483-4f76-90a3-786e4cdc8f10&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnstarterla-20&amp;linkId=7fa7ca16277756d72484672e85e039b3&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SeedRanch Midnight Kentucky Bluegrass Seed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (5 lbs.)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Jacklin-Seed-Biltmore-Bluegrass-Certified\/dp\/B07T6XQHCK?crid=27GQP3B1R3AD0&amp;keywords=kentucky+blue+grass+seeds+for+lawn&amp;qid=1679595025&amp;sprefix=kentucky+blue+grass+seed%2Caps%2C125&amp;sr=8-7&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnstarterla-20&amp;linkId=df49b30f6042f7bab0359ab2347fc028&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jacklin Seed &#8211; Biltmore Blue Blend &#8211; 100% Kentucky Bluegrass<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (5 lbs.)<\/span><\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.
