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 and wintering foraging plant for grazing livestock. Seed manufacturers began marketing the first of these hybrids, often termed "heat-tolerant bluegrasses," in the first decade of the 21st century.
