Turf Grasses
LOLIUMThese European natives are clumping, not running, grasses. Not considered the choicest lawn grasses, but useful in special conditions and situations (lawns, pasture, soil reclamation).

In Bermuda grass country, it is often sown in fall on reconditioned Bermuda lawns to give winter green.
