Alopecurus arundinaceus, also known as creeping meadow foxtail or creeping foxtail, is a perennial grass found in Eurasia and northern Africa. It has been introduced to other regions and is valued for its use as forage and erosion control. This grass grows in wet or salty grasslands, along waterways, and in mountainous areas up to 1,200 meters. Its flowering period varies from April to July depending on its location.
