SIZECALL FOR CURRENT PACK SIZES & AVAILABILITY
Eastern Gamagrass is a native, perennial bunchgrass known for its production of high-quality livestock forage. It is a distant relative of corn and is native to most of the eastern half of the United States, but performs very well in fertile soils in the Central and Southern Great Plains.
Among the most nutritious native warm-season forages.
Produces substantially more forage than most natives.
Aggressive roots penetrate compaction and hardpan.
A wild Tripsacum relative of maize.
Handles bottomland and periodically saturated soils.
Cattle graze it hard — manage rotation carefully.
Requires stratification and careful planting — ask about seed handling.
