Habitat information
Wood meadow-grass can be found growing in woodland rides and glades, hedgerows and other semi-shaded places on a wide range of soil types.
Growing information
Wood meadow-grass can be sown at any time of year when conditions are suitable.
Wood meadow-grass is of most use for sowing in semi-shaded situations. On its own it is slow to develop and does not provide complete ground cover. With its tolerance of shade however can make a useful contribution to ground cover in difficult conditions when sown as part of a mix of other grasses. It is a component of our woodland and shade tolerant grass mixtures EG9 and EG23.
Wood meadow-grass is not a productive grass and would contribute very little for grazing or for mowing as hay. As a component of lawns it is more tolerant of shade than many grasses, but not particularly tolerant of wear or intensive close mowing; light infrequent mowing to create short informal ground cover is likely to be more successful in such circumstances.
