Panicum dichotomiflorum
Also called Autumn millet, Fall Panic Grass, Fall Panicum, Smooth Witchgrass, Bluegrass, Spreading Panicgrass, Blue Grass
Fall panicgrass is an annual grass native to eastern North America, growing about one metre tall with a loose, open flower panicle in late summer and autumn. It is a weed of disturbed ground, crop fields and wet margins rather than a garden ornamental, and grows readily from seed.
Panicum dichotomiflorum, known by the common names fall panicgrass, autumn millet (Britain and Ireland), and fall panicum is a species of Poaceae "true grass". It is native to much of the eastern United States and parts of Canada, and it can be found in the Western United States through California. It may be an introduced species in some western climates.
