Poa annua var. reptans - Creeping bluegrass - Golf Rispe<br />
Poa reptans is a perennial subspecie of Poa annua wich also build some stolons. It is very aggressive and Creeping bluegrass can even crowd<br />
out Poa annua. Germination is very fast and the growth is upright which leads to a "True Putt" on golf greens.<br />

Poa pratensis L. - Smooth-stalked meadowgrass - Wiesenrispe - Pâturin des prés - Poa pratense<br />
Poa pratensis is frequently found in the wild, on both mineral and humus-rich soils in both northern and southern hemispheres. Fine-leaved<br />
<strong>varieties</strong> with excellent turf qualities have been selected. Poa pratensis is a persistent specie with strong rhizomes and erect leafy shoots.<br />
Growth starts early in the spring and re-growth consists mainly of leafy material that can be mown very easily and leaves a clean cut. Poa<br />
pratensis tolerates hard wear and because of its rhizomes, it can regenerate itself even if the sward is badly damaged.<br />
Newer <strong>varieties</strong> tend to have a higher density than the old. The heat tolerance of Poa pratensis is good which makes it a perfect partner in<br />
mixtures with tall fescue.<br />

Agrostis stolonifera L. - Creeping bentgrass - Flecht-Straussgras - Agrostide stolonifère - Agróstide estolonifera<br />
The main use of Creeping Bent grass is on golf greens. This is due to the very high recuperative capacity and shoot density of the specie, which<br />
makes it very adaptable to the close mowing regimes used on these areas. Creeping bentgrass can also be used in mixtures for very dense<br />
lawn mixtures for private gardens due to its soft leaves and dense growth.<br />
