Rescuegrass: Bromus catharticus
| Rescue grass was introduced from Argentina and South
America in the early 1800s. It is a short lived cool-season perennial
bunchgrass that is found in warm / humid areas of the US that have mild
winters. In areas that have hot dry summers and severe winter temperatures,
it grows as an annual. |
| Most growth occurs in the fall through
winter, maturing in spring. Rescue grass is used for grazing and
overseeding on short grass pastures. Because it is a very palatable grass,
it can be damaged by close grazing. |
