Holcus lanatus is a perennial grass. The specific epithet lanatus is Latin for ‘woolly’ which describes the plant’s hairy texture. Common names include Yorkshire fog, tufted grass, and meadow soft grass. In North America, where it is an invasive species, names include velvet grass and common velvet grass.

Holcus lanatus in its natural habitat is a food source for butterflies such as the speckled wood, the wall, and especially the small skipper.

In parts of northern Europe the grass is a common native species and a hardy pasture grass.
