Kropaargras / Cocksfoot – Adremo – per kg

Cocksfoot grass is a tufted, perennial grass that is best adapted to cool-season production. Due to the abundance of leaves produced, it does not lose much quality in winter or when it becomes reproductive.

Tenacious and hard to budge. When other grasses succumb to drought, cocksfoot can be relied on for its perseverance; its deep roots and dense, tussocky growth securing its survival.

Cocksfoot grass is perennial and commonly grows in dense tussocks which can be 20–140cm tall. Its key characteristic is a flattened stem base which separates this grass from others.

Leaves: grey-green in colour, hairless, approximately 20–50cm long and 1.5cm wide.

Flowers: have a distinctive tufted, triangular flowerhead made up from several clumps of spikelets which hold the flowers. The colour of the flowers can change, depending on the time of year, but they are mostly green with red or purple ends. The flowers turn a pale brown when ready to seed.

Seedhead: dense and spiky when first emerging, becoming open and branched as it matures. Seeds are very small, with more than a million per kilogram.
