couch grass · Elymus repens
Also known as: felt; lagoon grass; quack grass; quitch grass; scutch; shelly grass; skally grass; squitch grass; twitch; twitch grass; witch grass

Growth begins early in spring, which can allow this plant to out-compete others that may need warmer temperatures; because of this and its ability to spread rapidly underground, it is often considered a weed. Roots are fairly shallow, so forking out may be possible in lighter soils, though any remaining fragments of rhizome may re-grow

Watering: Moderate regular watering, allowing brief slight drying between soakingsSunlight: Full sunInformation to be completed
