DESCRIPTION:
Annual bluegrass is a low-growing, cool-season grass which dies
early in the summer when the top layer of soil dries out. It
can
easily be distinguished from other grasses by its typical leaf
tip which is shaped like the bow of a boat. The leaf blade is
often
crinkled at the midsection. Annual bluegrass has a membranous ligule
that is rounded with a slightly pointed tip. The mature plant
grows
as dense, low-spreading tufts, 3 to 12 inches (8 - 30 cm) tall,
and often roots at the lower nodes.

Pest Note for more information.
