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.
