Velvet grass (Holcus lanatus) flowers from June to August.
Ripe seeds of this plant can be harvested
from July to September. Some spears grow up to a length of one
meter. Velvet grass can be recognized by its delicate ears that are
coloured white with a slight touch of violet. There are tiny
hairs on the leaves of the Velvet grass. My budgies love to eat
flowering Velvet grass. A friend's birds also like to nibble ripe
seeds of this grass species.
