Smooth Stalked Meadow Grass (Poa pratensis)

Ref: SSMG

This perennial has creeping rhizomes and is particularly drought resistant. It can be found readily throughout the UK, particularly on lighter soils. It should not be late sown in the autumn as it is slow to establish. It is early to grow in the spring and once topped or cut it tends not to re-flower so aftermath growth is leafy (3,000,000 seeds per kg).
