A shallow-rooted, perennial, cool-season grass well adapted to the Upper Midwest. Very winter hardy and very palatable.

 

Best Use:

Better for hay crop than as a pasture species. Usually mixed with alfalfa or clover for hay or pasture. Preferred grass in horse hay. Frost seeds fairly well.

Adaptation:

Best production is on heavy ground and cooler climates.

Management:

Shallow root system makes it a poor choice on droughty soils. Sensitive to high temperatures, so mid-summer regrowth may be limited.

Planting Date:

March-May, August 1-31

Seeding:

8 lbs/acre alone or 1-2 lbs/acre in a mix.
