What type of grass do I have?


Pretty self explanatory, what type of grass do I have? And also, how do I care for it?

I’ve been told three or four different kinds of grasses and I’m not sure anymore.

    If you’re asking for help with identifying a weed and/or type of grass, please include close-up photos showing as much detail as possible.

    For grasses, it is especially important to get close photos from multiple angles. It is rarely possible to identify a grass from more than a few inches away. In order to get accurate identifications, the more features of the grass you show the more likely you are to get an accurate identification. Features such as, [ligules](https://extension.illinois.edu/sites/default/files/styles/image_gallery_mobile/public/2024-03/180.png.jpg?itok=D5yNs0l8) (which can be hairy, absent entirely, or membranous (papery) like the photo), [auricles](https://extension.illinois.edu/sites/default/files/styles/image_gallery_mobile/public/2024-03/Grasses%20at%20a%20Glance%20Blog%20Pictures.png.jpg?itok=PLrWX4q-), any hairs present, roots, stems, and any present seed heads. General location can also be helpful.

    Pull ONE shoot and get pictures of that.

    [This page from MSU](https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/grass-photography-tips-for-id-help-us-help-you) has helpful tips on how to take pictures of grasses for the purposes of identification.
