Crested Dog’s-Tail (Cynosurus cristatus) Seed

Crested Dog’s-Tail (Cynosurus cristatus) is a perennial grass native to the UK, commonly found in meadows, pastures, and unimproved grasslands. It features a distinctive, flattened flower head with a comb-like appearance, which gives the plant its name. Growing up to 60 cm tall, it has fine, narrow leaves and is well adapted to grazing and mowing. Crested Dog’s-Tail plays an important role in traditional hay meadows and supports a range of pollinators and other wildlife.

All our seeds are true UK native wildflowers, harvested from sites across the country many within Cumbria and some from our own meadows. We also work with Wildlife Organisations and collect wild seed from their Nature Reserves and other wildlife sites under a DEFRA permit.

By choosing our products, you support British growers and suppliers who work closely with local farmers and businesses. However, be aware that some online sellers import non-native plants and seeds. While these may be cheaper, they are not true UK natives and may not suit our environment.
