Northern Wildflowers Prairie Dropseed Pkg

Approximately 120 seeds per pack, covers 5 square feet

A low-maintenance and totally stellar grass for landscaping. It is short, clump-forming and easy to grow, but does not readily self-seed in the garden. Prairie dropseed can be planted around walnuts as it is tolerant to juglone. Seeds provide a food source for birds, and if the foliage is not cut back, it maintains its fountain shape throughout the winter. 

Height: 1-3 feet tall
Plant in: Full Sun in Dry to Medium Site
Blooms:  July to August
Zone: 3-9

No pre-treatment required. Sow seed at the soil surface. Do not let seedlings dry out while they are establishing. Since prairie dropseed is a warm-season grass, it needs soil temperatures that are at least 70°F (21°C) to cue germination. Germination may take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks. Prairie dropseed germination rates can be greatly improved by starting trays on a heat mat or sowing later into the spring for warmer soil temperatures.
