Yellow Oat Grass | Trisetum flavescens

Also known as golden oat grass.

Yellow oat grass is a sturdy, perennial grass with a distinctive golden-yellow hue. Reaching heights of up to 1 metre, it features delicate, arching flower spikes that bloom from June to August. Naturally found in a variety of habitats across the UK, it thrives in both dry and moist soils, making it a versatile choice for grazing pastures and hay production.

Highly nutritious and palatable to livestock, yellow oat grass is valued for its drought resistance and ability to grow in poor soil conditions, including clay and acidic soils. It is also winter hardy and disease-resistant, making it a reliable addition to pasture mixtures.

Combined with other grasses, yellow oat grass can help improve the longevity and productivity of pastures, offering late-season growth and valuable forage.
