Hybridization with Kentucky bluegrass

During the 1990s, botanists began experimenting with producing hybrids of Texas bluegrass and Kentucky bluegrass ("Poa pratensis") for use as a drought-resistant lawn grass. Seed manufacturers began marketing the first of these hybrids, often termed "heat-tolerant bluegrasses," in the first decade of the 21st century. Examples of the commercial cultivars available as of 2007 include::* Thermal Blue (Scotts):* Solar Green (Scotts):* Fahrenheit 90
