Agrostis infirma, commonly known as Brown Bent, is a perennial grass native to Southeast Asia. It is typically found in meadows, grasslands, and open woodlands where it forms part of the understory vegetation. Brown Bent is a relatively low-growing grass, usually reaching heights of 10-60 centimeters, with a fine texture and a green to brownish hue. It produces delicate, airy flower panicles that are not particularly showy, appearing from late spring to early summer.

Brown Bent is valued for its ability to thrive in a variety of soil conditions and its use in naturalistic plantings and as a component of meadow mixes. It is often used for erosion control and as a low-maintenance ground cover in areas where other turf grasses may struggle. In cultivation, it prefers full sun to part shade and can tolerate a range of soil types, though it does best in well-drained soils. It is relatively drought-tolerant once established. While not commonly available in the horticultural trade, it can be an attractive choice for ecological gardens and restoration projects.CC BY-SA 4.0
