Additional Information:
Wood Meadowgrass is a fine leaved, late season grass which establishes well
in shaded sites. It may be used to produce an amenity turf or added to low input meadows and pastures to boost yield for autumn grazing. The most reliable establishment is obtained from
spring to early autumn sowings into a warm soil. Tufted Hairgrassl may be introduced into grassland providing the area is well prepared. The existing grass must be topped
or grazed very short then repeatedly harrowed to expose sufficient soil as to create a seedbed. The seeds should be surface sown and the area lightly rolled to consolidate the ground ensuring the seeds are in good contact with the soil. Occasional
topping prevents developing seedlings from becoming smothered during
establishment. Avoid grazing in its first year.
