What is Summer Grass?
Summer Grass is a summer annual grassy weed with a aggressive spreading growth habit. Summer Grass leaves are of a green-yellow colour with light purple or white sheaths at the stem base and a membranous ligule. Seed heads appear throughout spring, summer and autumn and consist of multiple small, finger-like spikes radiating from a central point and covered in tiny black seeds. Summer Grass is propagated from seed as well as stolons.
