Alopecurus arundinaceus × pratensis, a hybrid grass, is a perennial plant resulting from the cross between Alopecurus arundinaceus, the creeping meadow foxtail, and Alopecurus pratensis, the meadow foxtail. This hybrid is often used in temperate regions for its utility in forage production and soil stabilization. It is characterized by its rapid growth and ability to form dense tufts. The plant is deciduous and typically reaches a height of 2 to 4 feet (0.6 to 1.2 meters) with a similar spread. The grass has a fine texture with narrow leaves and produces a cylindrical inflorescence that is soft and bristly in appearance, typically flowering in late spring to early summer.

The hybrid grass is valued for its vigor and adaptability to a variety of soil conditions, although it prefers moist, fertile soils with good drainage. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is often used in meadows, as ground cover, or for erosion control on slopes. While it is generally low-maintenance, it can become invasive if not managed properly, spreading through both rhizomes and seed. It is also used for grazing and hay production in agricultural settings.CC BY-SA 4.0
