Creeping Foxtail
Alopecurus arundinaceus
Overview
Creeping Foxtail is a hardy long-lived cool season grass, ideal for lawns and pastures. With soft, fine-textured deep green foliage, it is a hearty lawn grass that flourishes in the sun or partial shade and can tolerate drought. Its flat, bright-green and white-striped flowering heads are borne on stems reaching up to 6 inches high. It is a cool-season grass that spreads easily via its creeping rhizomes, forming dense mats of foliage. Its dense, matted growth provides excellent cover for wildlife break and erosion control. Creeping Foxtail tolerates shade and drought but grows best in moist soils of full sun or partial shade.
