Agrostis clavata
Also called Clavate Bent, Clubbed Bent, Clubbed Bentgrass
Clavate bentgrass (Agrostis clavata) is a small, cool-climate wild grass with a very wide native range across northern Europe, temperate East Asia, New Guinea and Alaska/Yukon. Its care is that of a hardy, low-maintenance native grass, and it is seldom grown in gardens.
Agrostis clavata is a species of flowering plant in the family Poaceae, known by the common names clubbed bent or clavate bent. It has a very wide native distribution, from northern Europe to temperate East Asia and New Guinea, and in Alaska and Yukon in North America. In 2021, A. clavata was first identified in India, in the state of Sikkim. A. clavata was first described by Trin. in 1821.
