Early Meadow Grass

Poa infirma

A tiny grass species that can appear before many others have started growing, giving it the name “Early” Meadow Grass. It is easily overlooked due to its small size and subtle flower heads. On Lihou, it may emerge in low grassy patches or coastal paths soon after winter, taking advantage of the island’s mild conditions.

  • Habitat: Short, open turf, disturbed ground, or pathways in mild coastal areas.
  • When to See: Flowers very early in the year—sometimes late winter or early spring.
