ANDROPOGONA gerardii - Bonilla 100g
Family: Poaceae
Characteristics: Clumping grass 2.1 metres tall
Seed per gram: Approx. 365
Andropogon gerardii grass, also known as Turkeyfoot and Big Bluestem, is a warm-season bunchgrass growing to 2.1 meters tall.
The seedheads are divided into narrow branches that resemble a turkey's foot.
It's an excellent plant for controlling erosion and providing cover and wildlife nest sites. During autumn, it turns a stunning reddish-brown colour.
This architectural grass is perfect for erosion control on the back of borders, banks, and slopes and is an excellent choice for drought-prone gardens.
Andropogon gerardii is Illinois and Missouri's state grass and Manitoba's official prairie grass.
This long-lived perennial is a significant part of the tallgrass prairie in central North America.
Andropogon seeds are best sown in autumn or early winter when the soil moisture is adequate or in spring.
- Best sown 3mm directly where they are to grow.
- If sowing in trays, transplant when large enough to handle.
- If mass planting as a meadow, scatter seeds and rake over.
Germination: 10-21 days at a soil temperature of 15-21°C
*Please note:
- Please do not discard seeds that do not germinate too hastily; seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural germination requirements.
- As with all seeds, they must have adequate water to keep them moist but not too wet.
- These growth notes are provided as guidance only and do not guarantee successful germination.
