Poa annua

I have noticed quite a lot of Poa Animagenua ( at least Knoll Gardens thinks it might be). Actually it is not at this stage unattractive. I light cut my front lawn twice weekly and I have to say it is pleasantly green.

But the question is can this be treated and would anyone do this - and with what?

I have done some reading and spotted mostly US You Tube items on this

    Unless you're managing a bowling green I can't see that it should cause any problems. Don't cut the lawn too short is the usual advice.

    I wouldn't have much grass left in the front garden if I got rid of all of mine! It isn't really an issuse. Keep mowing regularly, but not too short as Dove says.

    It's a bit coarser, but it's good and green and that's fine by me  image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    grass is grass as far as I'm concerned but I like to see a bit of clover and other broadleaves as well.

    I would not worry about that in my "lawn" . It is a mowed down couch grass, moss ridden green space.

    well the medium cut I give x 2 weekly should keep the lawn happy enough. Others along here cut once every two weeks and scalp quite badly!
