Poa annua, or annual meadow grass (known in America more commonly as annual bluegrass or simply poa), is a widespread low-growing turfgrass in temperate climates. Notwithstanding the reference to annual plant in its name, perennial bio-types do exist. [2] This grass originated as a hybrid between Poa supina and Poa infirma. [3]
Poa [2] is a genus of about 570 species of grasses, native to the temperate regions of both hemispheres. Common names include meadow-grass (mainly in Europe and Asia), bluegrass (mainly in North America), tussock (some New Zealand species), and speargrass. Poa is Greek for 'fodder'. Poa are members of the subfamily Pooideae of the family Poaceae.

Poa arachnifera, the Texas bluegrass, is a species of grass. It is a dioecious perennial plant, native to the southern Great Plains of the United States. [1]
Magnaporthe poae is an ascomycete fungus which causes the turfgrass disease commonly known as summer patch, or Poa patch. [2] The disease occurs mostly on Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), Fescues (Festuca sp.), and on Annual bluegrass (Poa annua). [3] Bentgrass (Agrostis sp.) may also become infected but shows very few symptoms and quickly ...
Poa pratensis has a fairly prominent mid-vein (center of the blade). The ligule is extremely short and square-ended, making a contrast with annual meadowgrass and rough meadowgrass (Poa trivialis) in which it is silvery and pointed. The Kentucky bluegrass is a dark green/blue compared to the apple-green color of Poa annua and Poa trivialis.
A typical La Niña pattern produces a wetter, cooler winter over the northern U.S., while drier, milder weather takes hold of the South. While there have been important caveats that go against the ...
Poa infirma is a species of grass known by the common names early meadow-grass [1] and weak bluegrass. It was first described from a specimen found in Colombia, but it is actually an introduced species in the Americas and is native to Europe. [2] It grows in many types of habitat, including disturbed areas.
