Creeping bent grass is used extensively in northern lawns, golf courses, athletic fields for the creeping, dense growth and beautiful coloration and short mowing capabilities. It is used primarily on golf putting greens because of the denseness and mowing qualities. The color can range from olive green to a very light green. Varieties have been developed for better hardiness, heat tolerance, salt tolerance, wear-ability and better re-growth in higher traffic areas.

Creeping bent grass establishes faster than Colonial and is adapted to the fertile, low acidic, and well draining soils. It can be used in the overseeding of the grasses such as Bermuda in the transitional area on golf courses. Creeping bent grass can be grown from seed or vegetative propagation. The most well known seeded variety is Penncross. Some of the other vegetative varieties are Washington, Pennlu, Toronto, and Arlington. Fertilization requirements are generally medium.

PENNCROSS IS THE MOST RECOMMENDED BENT GRASS FOR HOME LAWNS!
Penncross is a more uniform variety with superior turf quality, disease tolerance and wear tolerance. Where play is heavy, Penncross is probably the better choice. Penncross was released by Pennsylvania State University in 1954. Seeds are harvested from crosses of three vegetatively propagated strains. Read more Info on Penncross Bentgrass.
