Poa pratensis
Poa pratensis, or smooth stalked meadow grass, has been a highly popular choice for sports pitches, golf courses and lawns for many years. The main reason for using smooth stalked meadow grass is that it guarantees a strong surface. In many cases, smooth stalked meadow grass is combined with perennial ryegrass. With use on sports pitches and golf courses, this boosts the tolerance to wear and play. The biggest disadvantage of smooth stalked meadow grass is its slow germination rate. For this reason, it is often combined with the faster geminating perennial ryegrass.
