Dactylis glomerata plant20
Introduced, yearlong-green, perennial, densely tufted grass to 1.5 m tall. A native of Europe, it is sown in pastures and naturalised along roadsides mostly in the south and at higher elevations in the north. Tolerant of acid soils (to pHCaCl2 4), high exchangeable aluminium and low fertility and is often sown in these areas. Not tolerant of waterlogging, but moderately drought tolerant. Productive, but marginally lower quality than either phalaris or fescue. More tolerant of acid, lower fertility situations than other temperate sown grasses, but also responds to fertiliser.
