Agrostis Reptans

Common bentgrass, scientifically known as Agrostis reptans, is a low-growing grass species commonly found in temperate regions. It thrives in moist, well-drained soils and is often seen along streambanks and in shaded areas. This plant is valued for its fine texture and ability to form dense mats, making it a popular choice for lawns and golf courses. Its creeping growth habit allows it to spread easily, forming extensive colonies that stabilize soil and prevent erosion. Despite its aesthetic appeal, Agrostis reptans can become invasive in certain environments if left unchecked.
