Wildflower, Grass and Native Seeds
Slender Wheatgrass is a short-lived, cool season, perennial bunchgrass. It is native to North America, from Alaska to Newfoundland, and as far south as Mexico. Overall it is rated as a good forage grass for all types of livestock, but it lacks significant protein value. It matures at heights between 2 and 4 feet tall and will establish quickly after its seeds are sown. Slender Wheatgrass has a high salinity tolerance and is often utilized for erosion control, rehabilitation of damaged ecosystems, and re-vegetation of overgrazed pastures. It will grow in moderately parched prairie ranges, as well as subalpine, alpine and temperate forests. Medium textured soil, that ranges anywhere between moist and dry, will support the growth of Slender Wheatgrass.
