Pubescent Wheatgrass

Pubescent Wheatgrass is similar to intermediate wheatgrass, but is distinguishable by short, stiff hairs, on the seed heads and seeds. This wheatgrass variety is more drought-tolerant and winter hardy than intermediate wheatgrass and can remain green during the summer months making it useful as both a hay and pasture crop. Due to its spread by rhizomes, pubescent wheatgrass is well adapted to stabilize disturbed soils. Pubescent Wheatgrass is adapted to a wide range of conditions and soils, particularly to loamy to sandy soils.
