Agrostis capillaris L.
Agrostis capillaris L. is a grass with distinct traits that set it apart from related Agrostis stolonifera.
Insufficient toxicity evidence; avoid direct contact and ingestion.
Agrostis capillaris L. forms a dense sward of fine leaves. Its ligule is short and not pointed, which distinguishes it from creeping bent (Agrostis stolonifera), which has a pointed ligule up to 5mm long. Flowering panicles emerge between May and June; they are finely branched and appear as a purple haze when viewed from a distance. The panicle remains through winter after seeds are shed.
