velvet grassnounA common pasture grass with soft downy leaves, native to Eurasia and naturalized in North America.- Holcus lanatus, family Gramineae.
The name velvet grass comes from the appearance its pale purple flower heads make when growing amassed in an open field....- Prior to this phase 99 percent of the vegetative cover in portions of the valley was exotic velvet grasses, while today 90 percent is made up of native plants.
