Description

Sideoats Grama grows quickly to1.5'-2' tall and 2' wide. It is very cold hardy and prefers full sun.Tall flower spikes are outstanding because of their purplish green color from summer through fall. Green narrow leaves turn tan colored in fall, then white in winter. Prune or cut down in early spring for clean regrowth. Irrigate every 2-3 weeks after established. Some folks have a strong allergic reaction to the pollen or plant. This grass makes a nice meadow.

Water Saving Tip:

As the weather gets hotter avoid the temptation to increase run times.

Instead, schedule more start times with one to two hours in between to allow the water from the previous session to soak in before watering again.
