Hi, permies, I need some help identifying some grasses in my
yard.
#1. Cool season, love shady area, leaves very fine, wiry and smooth like hair, bloom in summer, form dense mat. They grow very well under the
trees and nice to walk on.
#2. sunny spot, forms big clumps, leaves flat and long, with serrated edges. Compete with white clover. I usually remove the clumps manually in late winter with a chisel. Clover and various spring wildflowers then take over the spot.
#3. Warm season grass, dark green leaves, flat stem, looks like centipede.
#4. Warm season, arid area, small clumps, blueish hue
#5. Looks like #1 with narrow leaves, but grows in sunny area and blooms early in April
Let me know if you need to see more close up photos. Thanks!
