Cat Grass

It features flowing, green foliage held as a dense clump and typically grows to 40 cm tall and 60 cm wide. Dactylis glomerata is commonly planted alongside water features such as ponds and streams, mass planted either as a groundcover or on a bank, included in borders, used in rock gardens, or maintained in a container.
