Spike Bentgrass

Scientific Name: Agrostis exarata

Spike Bentgrass is common and widely distributed in western North America, usually growing in moist ground in open woodlands, river valleys, tidal marshes, and swamp and lake margins; it also grows in dry habitats such as grasslands and shrublands. It extends from Alaska into Mexico. It readily colonizes roadsides and bare soil and exhibits ecological and developmental flexibility.

Host plant: common ringlet, sandhill skipper, common roadside skipper, white-lined sphinx, and the armyworm moth
