Poa annua var. reptans
Overview
Creeping Bluegrass is an annual herbaceous plant with a dense, low-lying clump growth habit. This grass is often used in lawns or as a turf grass in areas with a temperate climate. It has a light to medium green-blue foliage, thin stems, and small flowers that are deep-bluish to purple in color. It can tolerate light foot traffic but can be easily damaged by heavy machinery. It does best in full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Its aesthetically pleasing foliage and dense structure make it a great choice for use in areas where drought tolerance or low maintenance is desired.
