Creeping wheatgrass - description
Creeping wheatgrass is a cereal.
This grass is an aggressive perennial weed that is familiar to almost all summer residents and gardeners. Its roots can stretch for tens of meters and therefore it is very difficult to get rid of it. This grass can sometimes reach 1.5 meters in height.
This plant has a thin, long root with many branches. Wheatgrass has thin, long leaves that can reach 40 cm.
Often found in fields and meadows. Wheatgrass blooms in June-July. Its flowers gather in spikes.
What does wheatgrass look like?
Looking at the close-up photo of creeping wheatgrass, we see a perennial grass with numerous straight stems, linear leaves, and powerful roots. Thanks to its long, creeping rhizome, the plant gets its name “creeping,” but there are two other known definitions that characterize the grass: unexpected or sudden. Flowers are a small inflorescence collected in a spike at the top of the stem.
Among the people, wheatgrass is called zhitets, worm grass or dandur. The plant grows almost everywhere, easily tolerates frost or heat, and blooms all summer.
How does wheatgrass reproduce? In addition to its endurance, wheatgrass has high fertility. It is interesting that one plant can reproduce simultaneously by roots and seeds and produces more than ten thousand seeds that germinate in the same summer. Moreover, even if the seed does not germinate, it will lie in the ground for many years, and the root remaining after weeding quickly gives life to a new plant. Therefore, it is always difficult for a person to fight wheatgrass, and the question of how to get rid of wheatgrass worries many gardeners.
