Description

Premium Hairy Grama (Bouteloua hirsuta) is a hardy warm‑season perennial bunch‑type native grass. It features hairy foliage and unique one‑sided comb‑shaped flower spikes, powerful drought‑resistance and great adaptability for rocky, sandy barren soil. Widely used for rangeland forage, slope‑erosion prevention, dry‑land courtyard xeriscape, wild‑animal habitat and natural prairie landscape construction.

Key Features

Distinct comb‑like unilateral seed spikes with hairy spike‑shell features
Excellent drought‑endurance, survives purely on natural rainfall after full establishment
Fits rocky, sandy and low‑fertility soil, poor‑soil resistant
Serves as high‑quality livestock forage; seeds attract local wild birds
Low‑maintenance warm‑season bunchgrass, suitable for dry‑area greening
Well‑screened clean grass seeds with low impurity and stable germination rate

Full Product Description

Hairy grama belongs to the Bouteloua genus, growing in compact tuft‑shaped clumps. Its special eyebrow‑shaped flower spike is easy to identify, and coarse white hairs cover its spikelets. This tough warm‑season grass is well‑adapted to hot arid environments, rocky wasteland and dry prairie land. It helps stabilize loose soil and supplies food for grazing livestock and wild birds. Our hairy grama seeds go through strict screening to remove broken and shrivelled grains for tidy seedling‑emergence.

Packaging & Shipping Notes

Grass seeds are sealed inside thick leak‑proof moisture‑proof inner bags. Outer hard cartons and soft shock‑absorbing fillers avoid grain crushing and extrusion damage during long‑distance shipment.

Packages stay far away from high‑temperature sealed cargo compartments, damp rainy surroundings and prolonged direct sunlight to preserve seed vitality. After receiving the parcel, inspect seeds timely. Reseal leftover seeds tightly and store away from hot‑humid enclosed‑space.

Planting Guide

Best Sowing Season

Sow seeds in late‑spring to early‑summer when soil temperature reaches 16‑24℃, or perform autumn seeding.

Seed Pre‑Treatment

Soak seeds in room‑temperature clean water for 6‑8 hours
Mix tiny seeds with fine dry sand for uniform broadcasting

Soil Requirement

Clear stones and weeds, loosen the planting ground. Well‑drained sandy‑loam, rocky dry‑land are perfect; heavy clay and water‑logged land must be avoided.

Sowing Operation

Evenly spread the sand‑seed mixture, cover with ultra‑thin 0.10‑0.20‑inch fine soil, lightly compact topsoil for good seed‑to‑soil contact.

Germination & Seedling Care

Keep surface‑layer soil slightly moist. Seeds germinate within 7‑21 days under warm surroundings. Thin dense seedlings and clear weeds in early growth stage.

Daily‑care for Mature Plants

Grow under full sunlight. Only water seedlings in the first growth cycle; mature grass survives with natural rainfall. Trim dead withered foliage in late‑winter before new spring shoots sprout.

Seed Storage & Package

Moisture‑proof sealed packaging protects seeds from dampness, mould and transit‑caused damage.

Store leftover seeds inside cool, dry, shaded and well‑ventilated locations. Refrigerate for long‑term storage and stay away from high‑temperature humid air. Sow seeds within three‑month storage for the optimal germination‑rate.
