Orchard Grass

| View Cart ⇗ | Info

Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata), also known as Rough Cock’s-foot, flowers in dense clusters. The stem is erect and about three feet high. When found in good soil it has been known to grow over five feet high. The leaves are linear, flat, dark-green and rough on both surfaces, which, with the fancied resemblance of its clusters to the foot of a barnyard fowl, gives it the common name in England of rough cock’s foot. The magnified spikelet is shown here
