Common Grass (Lawn Grass)

Brief Description

Common grass, often seen in lawns, consists of various species from the Poaceae family. It typically has long, narrow leaves that grow from the base, forming a dense green carpet when healthy. The texture can vary from fine to coarse depending on the specific species. In the provided image, the grass appears somewhat sparse and dry in areas, with some fallen leaves scattered.

Care Instructions

Requires regular mowing to maintain desired height, typically weekly during growing seasons. Water deeply and infrequently, especially during dry periods, aiming for about 1 inch per week including rainfall. Fertilize 2-4 times a year depending on soil type and desired vigor. Aeration can help with soil compaction, and overseeding can fill in bare spots. Control weeds manually or with appropriate herbicides.
