Hi Violet. I'd never heard of nut grass, so I did an internet search and found lots of information on how best to deal with it.

is this a type of sedge? They are difficult to get out of a lawn but they are relatively easy to dig out of a border. Don't let them form seed heads or the problem will just get even worse.

So glad you asked this question - I googled it and found its matches a plant I have growing in our pond. Having now been warned I'll remove it while its the only one!

Nut-grass doesn't grow in the UK, to the best of my knowledge. Could you post a photo so that we can identify it for you?

Off to the pond tomorrow then, to check if mine's a sedge.(It was self sown) Will be interested to see your photo Violet53.

Nut grass as I know it wouldn't do well in the UK--it loves heat.

Yes mine's a sedge. Sbg, should I cut the very attractive seed head off then? (apologies Violet for gatecrashing your question)

Could you send us pictures Violet, for positive identification? Nutgrass is desperately difficult to control, while many of the grassy weeds that are mistaken for it are easier to stop.

yes dead head it stera.
I have heard sedge called nut grass in the uk. that's the problem with using local names and not their scientific/botanical name.

We will need a photo as already said.

Thank you. shame, Its so pretty.

well if you like it keep it but just keep an eye on it and cut it back when it gets too big stera.

Nut Grass is what you get from birds dropping seeds. If you have a bird table this will happen, we have our bird table on some grass so it just mergers into the lawn.

Say whaa!!?? Are there any pictures or articles that you can refer us to, delineating what you are calling Nut Grass, Nellie?

The sedge I have wouldn't merge into the lawn!
