annual bluegrass
Annual bluegrass (Poa annua).
Annual bluegrass, also known as Poa annua, is an annual grass species native to Europe that has been introduced to North America. It is widely distributed and often considered a weed, particularly in lawns. This slender grass can be either an annual or a perennial, with narrow leaf blades that have blunt or boat-shaped tips. While many species within the Poa genus are valuable for lawns, pastures, and forage, annual bluegrass is generally viewed as a pest.12
