General Information:
Couch grass is a tough perennial grass with creeping underground shoots that pop up in lawns, beds, and borders. Because of creeping rhizomes which enable it to grow rapidly across grassland. It has flat, hairy leaves with upright flower spikes. The stems grow to 50–125 cm tall; the leaves are linear, 10–35 cm long and 1–5 mm broad at the base of the plant, with leaves higher on the stems 2–10 mm broad. The flower spike is 5–25 cm long, with spikelets around 2 cm long, 7 mm broad and 3 mm thick with three to eight florets. The glumes are 7–10 mm long, usually without an awn or with only a short one.
The rhizomes are usually yellowish-white, sharp-pointed, somewhat fleshy and up to 3 m long. The auricles clasp the stem, which helps to immediately distinguish it from most other grass weeds. Couch grass or twitch grass is an old enemy for many gardeners. The leaf blades are soft and relatively flat, slightly soft-hairy, dull and mostly dark green, sometimes Glaucous, 6 – 30 cm long and 3 – 15 mm wide.
Couch grass has been used in herbal medicine since classical Greek times. The common name of dog grass comes from the fact that sick dogs will dig up the root and eat it.
