DESCRIPTION:
German velvetgrass, also called Yorkshire fog, is a perennial grass with vigorous, slender underground creeping
stems. It is also distinguished by growing a solitary stem or groups of a few stems, which are mostly smooth,
but may have hairs on the joints. A short, membranous ligule is present and there are no auricles. Leaves
are velvety and somewhat grayish. Purplish lines at the base of stems are common. The upper flowers have a
sharply bent or straight bristle. German velvetgrass is visible as light-colored, velvety patches in turf and
is very apparent when dew is on the grass.
