SUMMARY

Sand lovegrass is a native, warm-season, short-lived, leafy, perennial bunchgrass which reaches mature heights from 2.5 to 4 feet with a shallow, wide spreading root system. Sand Lovegrass grows best on sandy soils with an annual precipitation of 18 to 36 inches. It typically greens up two weeks earlier than most other native grasses and is very palatable.

SANDY SOILS

Adapted to sand and sandhill ground where other natives struggle.

FAST ESTABLISHMENT

Quicker to establish than most native warm-season grasses.

HIGHLY PALATABLE

Livestock select it strongly — quality forage when managed.

SAND STABILIZATION

Holds blowouts and shifting sandy ground.

EROSION CONTROL

Fibrous roots bind loose soils.

WILDLIFE VALUE

Provides cover and seed for ground-nesting birds.

GRAZING MANAGEMENT

Its palatability means it gets overgrazed — rotate to keep it in the stand.
