Question
Sorry, but somehow my last question was submitted before all photos were uploaded. These are early September images of a grass taken on our dry, sandy property on Long Island. I’m trying to replace old turf grass with native plants wherever possible. If you can help ID this grass, I would greatly appreciate it. Many thanks!
Answer
Dear MossGal, I can't confidently tell you which species you have because I can't see details of the spikelets. If you could get a close-up of the floral structures, I might be able to do better. The grass looks like Muhlenbergia sobolifera (rock muhly), a native grass of forests and woodlands, often rocky ones. Perhaps you could research that possibility. Best wishes.
