Dactylis glomerata seed

LATIN NAME: Dactylis glomerata

COMMON NAME: Orchard Grass

The orchard grass is the easy, tufted grass of the old orchards, and it has fed the stock of the temperate fields for centuries. The clump-forming, perennial grass carries the soft, flat, grey-green leaves and the tall, narrow, one-sided seed heads through the early summer, and it is one of the fine, steady grasses of the old meadows and the modern pasture. The grass is a generous, easy presence of the field, the orchard floor and the rough bank, coming back year after year. It is a grass of the open, sunny, well-drained ground.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The orchard grass is a plain, steady subject of the plant science, and the tufted growth keeps it a regular figure in the work on the temperate pasture grasses. The breeding of the orchard grasses for the leaf and the early growth has been looked at closely, and it keeps showing up in the studies of the forage grasses, the meadow mixtures and the members of the grass family. The one-sided seed heads and the clump-forming habit have also made it a fine meadow plant, and the orchard grass is a regular subject of the work on the easy pasture grasses of the cool world.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

The orchard grass is a fine, steady grass of the old fields and the modern pasture. The soft, flat leaves give the good early grazing and the fine hay, and the grass is one of the steady, generous members of the meadow mixture, feeding the stock through the cool season and coming back year after year. The tall, one-sided seed heads are a fine, light sight of the early summer meadow, and the grass holds the ground of the orchard floor and the rough bank with the ease. It has been written up in the agricultural and the ecological papers for the early growth and the steady ways, and it is a fine, easy grass of the open, sunny, well-drained ground.

The orchard grass is one of the steady grasses of the old meadows, and the tall, one-sided seed heads are a fine, light sight of the early summer. The soft, flat leaves give the good early grazing and the fine hay.

To grow the orchard grass from seed, sow the small, pointed seeds over the surface of a pot of fine seed compost, keep the pot in a bright, open spot and water gently, then set the young plants out in the field or the meadow. The seedlings thread up within a couple of weeks and spread fast. With the sun and the well-drained ground, the tufted grass will feed the field through the cool season.

Cat grass is highly attractive to cats as they enjoy chewing and rolling on it. It also aids digestion for cats, particularly beneficial for indoor cats, sow in succession for steady supply. It is reported to reduce fur ball problems and also adds vital nutrients to your cats diet. Easy to grow and hardy.

ATS LIKE TO EAT GRASS AS AN AID TO DIGESTION, A SORCE OF VITAMINS AND MINERALS AND AS AN AID TO INDUCE VOMITING WHEN THEY ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE REMOVAL OF FUR BALLS. THIS VARIETY OF GRASS IS BOTH SAFE FOR, AND PREFFERED BY CATS
