Formerly Known As HGT®

Previously known simply as HGT®, the product is now offered as Turf Blue® | HGT®. While the name has changed, the premium Kentucky bluegrass blend and proprietary HGT® (Healthy Grass Technology) remain the same. Barenbrug's new Product | Technology naming system simply distinguishes the product from the technology that powers it, making it easier to identify products across the Barenbrug lineup.

Built for High-Performance Kentucky Bluegrass

Golf courses, sports fields, parks, and premium lawns demand Kentucky bluegrass that establishes quickly, recovers from traffic, and maintains outstanding performance through heat, humidity, and disease pressure.

Turf Blue® | HGT® combines Barenbrug's elite Kentucky bluegrass varieties with proprietary HGT® (Healthy Grass Technology) to deliver aggressive growth, exceptional traffic tolerance, broad disease resistance, and premium turf quality in even the most demanding environments. Whether you're establishing new turf, renovating existing areas, or overseeding bermudagrass as part of the Bluemuda concept, Turf Blue® | HGT® is built for professional performance.

Why Choose Turf Blue® | HGT®?

When appearance, durability, and recovery all matter, Turf Blue® | HGT® delivers advantages conventional Kentucky bluegrass blends can't match.

  • Aggressive Growth. Fast germination and rapid establishment create dense, uniform turf quickly.
  • Outstanding Disease Resistance. Broad disease resistance, including exceptional Summer Patch resistance, helps maintain healthier turf throughout the season.
  • Exceptional Traffic Tolerance. Excellent wear tolerance and rapid recovery help keep playing surfaces dense, safe, and attractive.
  • Early Spring Green-Up. Greens up quickly after winter for an earlier start to the growing season.
  • Premium Turf Quality. Fine texture, excellent striping, rich genetic color, and high turf density create a professional-quality appearance.

Powered by HGT® Technology

HGT® stands for Healthy Grass Technology, Barenbrug's exclusive Kentucky bluegrass breeding program focused on producing healthier, higher-performing turf. Rather than relying on a single variety, Turf Blue® | HGT® combines elite Kentucky bluegrass genetics selected for aggressive growth, exceptional recovery, broad disease resistance, and outstanding turf quality.

The result is turf that establishes quickly, performs through stressful growing conditions, and maintains exceptional density, color, and playability season after season.

Ideal for Bluemuda Systems

Turf Blue® | HGT® is an excellent choice for overseeding bermudagrass as part of the Bluemuda concept. In a Bluemuda system, Kentucky bluegrass is seeded into an existing bermudagrass base to provide green color, density, and playability during the cooler months while the bermudagrass is dormant or less active.

With aggressive growth, rapid establishment, excellent traffic tolerance, broad disease resistance, and early spring green-up, Turf Blue® | HGT® creates a premium cool-season playing surface before transitioning smoothly back to bermudagrass as temperatures warm. The result is high-quality turf that performs across more of the year for golf courses, sports fields, and other professionally managed turf.
