Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis)
Kentucky bluegrass, also known as Kentucky Bluegrass, Smooth Meadow-grass
One of the most popular grasses for lawns in the cool and humid regions of the United States is Kentucky bluegrass. The name comes from the purplish-blue flowers that the grass produces when it blooms, not from the color of the grass itself. You can find Kentucky bluegrass at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where the Green Bay Packers play.
