Common Bent Grass Seed

Common Bent Grass | Agrostis capillaris

Common bent, browntop or common bent-grass, is a short delicately flowered perennial grass species growing to a height of around 70cm. A loosely tufted grass with tiny seeds, it grows on most soil types but is particularly prevalent on poor acidic soils. It is drought-tolerant, low-growing and can be close mown. Common bent flowers from June to August.

This grass species has a relatively low feed value but is widely used in grass seed mixtures for fine lawns, putting and bowling greens.

Please note that although common bent grows naturally in Britain, this seed is an agricultural variety and may be sourced from trusted growers overseas.
