Abstract
Apomictic reproduction makes breeding Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) challenging. It is often difficult to identify a cultivar with the right combination of traits that will be successful in the marketplace. ‘Bedazzled’ Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) (Reg. No. CV‐94, PI 631168) is a turf‐type cultivar released by Turf Merchants Inc., Tangent, OR, in 2002. It was selected as an open‐pollinated progeny of ‘Unique’ Kentucky bluegrass. Bedazzled is comparable to ‘Midnight’ Kentucky bluegrass (the top industry standard) in many characteristics, including turf quality and disease resistance; however, Bedazzled has significantly better spring green‐up compared to Midnight. This combination of traits makes Bedazzled a unique, widely adapted, functional cultivar that should perform well on home lawns, athletic fields, parks, and golf courses in the Northeast, North Central and Intermountain West regions of the United States.
