Have you ever wondered why some sections of the lawn are slow
to green up and take longer to come out of dormancy during the spring?
Creeping bent is notorious for greening up slowly, especially compared
with Kentucky Bluegrass and Perennial Ryegrass. As a result, sporadic
sections of the lawn remain dormant and straw coloured until the
creeping bentgrass catches up with the other grass species that were
quick to green up. This can sometimes take several weeks before the
creeping bentgrass finally does catch up.

Creeping bentgrass is typically considered undesirable in home
lawns and unfortunately more often than not we have to live with it, not
without it. Under regular home lawn maintenance conditions creeping
bentgrass does not perform well. Its aggressive stoloniferous growth
habit makes it very difficult to maintain at regular mowing heights of
2.5” – 3”. As well, it chokes out and invades other desired species
making it challenging to keep under wraps and from spreading across the
lawn. To make matters worse, there is a distinct colour difference with
its lighter pale green colour, making it stand out against the rest of
the darker emerald green Kentucky bluegrass and Perennial ryegrass.
As an alternative approach to speeding up the green up process for the future spring seasons, introducing several cultural
practices such as Core aeration, overseeding, topdressing, and
slitseeding will promote the establishment of more desired turf species
in these areas.
