Agrostis
Also called Bent Grass, Bents, Bent, Bentgrasses
Agrostis, or bentgrass, is a large genus of grasses found across nearly the whole world, and several species are widely grown as fine turf on golf course greens, tees and fairways. It is grown from seed or stolons and needs regular mowing at a very short height and steady moisture to stay dense and green.
Agrostis (bent, bentgrass) is a large and very nearly cosmopolitan genus of plants in the grass family, found in nearly all the countries in the world.
Some species of bents are commonly used for lawn grass. This is a desirable grass for golf course teeing areas, fairways, and greens.
