Anyone used or seen any of these cultivars in a lawn? I'm going to be buying more PR seed (since I'm out) in March for a Spring overseed of an area ravaged by Poa Triv after I glyphosate the patches and topdress with compost. I'm in the research phase, and all of these look promising based on NTEP data:
-Karma (really good ratings overall)
-Keystone 2 (excellent in a lot of respects)
Panther GLS (solid in many ways)
Palmer III (old, but the ratings look pretty darn good)

In the past, I've used mostly Fiesta 4, SRO cultivars (poa free!), and ASP cultivars. I wanted to get some Pizzazz 2 GLR, but it was not grown last year according to the company that owns the rights to it when I called them.

I tend to prefer the wider bladed, less dense, better Summer-performance cultivars.

This is for the 0.4K or so area that's still KBG/PR mix. It has irrigation. I've gone to mixes with TTTF almost everywhere else since then, but will keep this area PR. The less dense TTPR cultivars seem to mix better with KBG and not compete as much as some others that are more dense.
