Bluegrass is not really blue--it's green--but in the
spring, bluegrass produces bluish-purple buds that when seen in large
fields give a rich
blue cast to the grass. Early pioneers found bluegrass growing on Kentucky's
rich limestone soil, and traders began asking for the seed of the "blue
grass from Kentucky." The name stuck and today Kentucky is known
as the “Bluegrass State”.
