Hi, I went to a trip and found this little grass on the ground and I took a little with me, I plant it in my lawn and it is growing really good, but I want to know what kind of grass is it?, it is really little and needle shaped, maybe from 3-6cm in height, thank you very much!

Reason: Not sure what the big deal is about a key in a picture, but I have deleted the two pictures as requested.
To see if it is nutsedge dig some up and see whether there are little brown balls, actually minature tubers/potatoes present. If it is nutsedge you are in for big troubles. It does not make a 'lawn' but grows in patches. It is extremely hard to eradicate because the tubers stay in the ground when you pull up the shoots, and the leaves are so waxy that herbicides have trouble penetrating. If it is nutsedge, dig up the ground under the plants right now and put all the tubers and soil in a trash bag to be hauled away!
This looks like sedge, but not nutsedge to me. I believe I have nutsedge in my yard every year, and it gets about a 9 inches tall before it grows the spiky seed flower head thingies on top. This looks very short. It may be another type of sedge, or even scotch moss.
Based on the picture with the key, it looks pretty small. You can send the picture to your local extension and they should be able to help identify it. BTW if it is scotch moss GOOD FOR YOU for growing it. I've tried it again this year...and yet again (and for the last time)...I've killed it.
Yes, be careful of cute little grasses! I noticed this sweet little grass emerging on my pea pebble terrace and finally realized it was from the very invasive Mexican feather grass I had in containers last summer. Not good. Those delicate, feathery strands are like spun glass and end up in your pond, birdbaths, and everywhere. Never again!
I was looking at it and I think it is not Nutsedge, I’ve seen it before and it´s completely different, this one looks exactly like "Eleocharis parvula" (this is an aquarium submersed plant, it can be grown emerged but in a really high humid environment) and mine is in the dry yard! I´ll post a picture of the runners to have a better idea of how it grows. Thanks everyone!
