Fowl Bluegrass

Fowl Bluegrass

Fowl Bluegrass is a native perennial grass that thrives in wet or moist soils, often found in meadows, marshes, and along stream banks. While not typically a primary forage species, it can provide some grazing value for livestock, particularly in early spring. Fowl Bluegrass is highly tolerant of flooding and can withstand periods of submergence. It plays a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity in wetland ecosystems, providing valuable habitat for a range of wildlife species, including waterfowl and other birds that utilize the dense stands for nesting and cover.
