About
Agrostis gigantea, known by its common names black bent and redtop, is a perennial grass of the Agrostis genus. It is native to Europe, but in the cooler areas of North America was widely used as a pasture grass until the 1940s. It is relatively high in protein and should be fed in moderation.
