About Alopecurus arundinaceus Poir.
Alopecurus arundinaceus, commonly known as creeping meadow foxtail or creeping foxtail, is a rhizomatous perennial grass species belonging to the grass family Poaceae. It is native to Eurasia and northern Africa, and has been widely introduced to other regions around the world. This sod-forming grass is useful as a forage crop and for erosion control. Its flowering period occurs between April and July, varying based on its geographic location. It typically grows in damp or saline grasslands, along waterway banks, and on mountains up to an elevation of 1,200 meters. However, the United States Bureau of Plant has recorded Alopecurus arundinaceus growing at elevations between 8500 and 9500 feet.
