Poa Angustifolia Var. Pratensis

Common narrowleaf grass, scientifically known as Poa angustifolia var. pratensis, is a low-growing perennial grass native to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. It thrives in open, sunny habitats such as meadows, grasslands, and disturbed soils, often forming dense mats that stabilize soil and prevent erosion. Its slender, narrow leaves and delicate seed heads make it a common sight in early spring, adding a soft green texture to the landscape. This grass is valued for its ecological benefits, supporting pollinators and providing habitat for small invertebrates. Despite its modest appearance, Common narrowleaf grass plays a vital role in maintaining the balance of grassland ecosystems.
