Canada bluegrass

Overview

Canada bluegrass (Poa compressa) is a well-known cool season grass. It is a dense tufted, perennial bunch grass and is a valuable forage species for many uses. It is native to North America and widely occurs in poorly drained areas and in disturbed soils. Its blue-green leaves are narrow and rolled with a pointed tip. It usually produces seed in early summer, and can easily be grown from seed. It is most common in lawns, pastures, and agricultural fields. Its palatability is relatively low compared to other grass species, but may still be used for graze or browsed. Canada bluegrass provides food and cover for both large and small wildlife species.
