Tall Wheatgrass

Tall Wheatgrass

Tall Wheatgrass is a hardy, late-maturing perennial grass that excels in diverse climates and soil types, particularly in the Northern Great Plains and intermountain regions. Known for its exceptional tolerance to saline and high-pH soils, this grass is an ideal solution for challenging environments. Tall Wheatgrass produces high yields of good-quality forage and provides an extended grazing period, making it a valuable choice for livestock operations, though it is typically less palatable than other wheatgrasses.

With excellent seedling vigor, Tall Wheatgrass establishes a strong start but requires patience due to its slower overall establishment. Its resilience in poor soils and adaptability to harsh conditions make it a dependable option for pastures, soil stabilization, and reclamation projects.
