Agrostis Stolonifera F. Patula

Matgrass, scientifically known as Agrostis stolonifera f. patula, is a low-growing, perennial grass that forms dense, mat-like patches on the ground. Native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, it thrives in moist, shaded environments such as lawns, gardens, and woodland areas. This variety is particularly valued for its ability to suppress weeds and stabilize soil, making it a popular choice in landscaping and ecological restoration projects. Its fine texture and dark green color add a soft, lush appearance to any setting. Despite its benefits, matgrass can become invasive if not managed properly, requiring careful maintenance to prevent overgrowth.
