Get Native

with your Home on the Range.

 

These grasses are native to Texas and Oklahoma for a reason:  they work here. 

They are what grew wild across the area long before cultivated farms and ranch lands. 

Able to tolerate the harsh weather conditions, they supported the native wildlife as

well as the livestock of early ranchers.  So plant what worked then

and still works now!

 

Planting Rate:

9 bulk lbs per acre

 

Optimum Planting Date:

March to May (can be planted later or fall-planted with adequate moisture)

 

Planting Methods:

This is a very light and “fluffy” mix, and will not flow easily through a conventional seed drill or broadcast seeder.  Best results are obtained by dispersing the seed by hand over a well-prepared seed bed, then rolling or pressing the seed into the top 1/4 inch of soil.

  

Care:

Mowing—Allow the seedheads to turn brown and dry before mowing, in order to obtain the maximum

 reseeding potential.

Grazing—Allow the grass to grow un-grazed for at least one year.  Monitor grazing closely, as these plants are very susceptible to being quickly over-grazed.
