This map is based on our research. We have checked its accuracy to Level 3 ecoregions. Although this plant occurs somewhere in each of these regions, it may only occur in a small part of some or all of them.

↑Uses

This species was introduced into North America as a pasture grass and for erosion control, but it has become an unwanted or weedy plant in pastures; because it is relatively less palatable to most livestock when mature, it tends to replace other grasses over time, and this process is faster in overgrazed pastures.

For these reasons we recommend avoiding planting this species.
