  Not unless you’re European. Bluegrass (despite having a species named after Kentucky), fescue, bermudagrass (which is an invasive species in Bermuda, BTW), etc. all come from Europe.

    Kentucky was named the Bluegrass State because it was so invasive that when settlers came into the area, they found the whole state carpeted in it.

      Ironically they’ve just about killed it all. You’re more likely to find bluegrass in WV or PA than KY these days.

    I’m European. Grass is everywhere and it just grows on its own.

      There are different species of grass. Many, many different species. And there are non-native grasses in Europe.

      Is cane actually bamboo? I thought it was more like sugar

    But grass IS native! That’s the point. Be it bamboo or whatever.
