Bromegrass is a cool season, sod-forming
grass that performs well in various soil types. It does not
tolerate frequent cutting
(more than 2-3 times per season) and recovers slowly, making
it an ideal companion for alfalfa, timothy, and tall fescue.
Bromegrass
spreads by rhizomes (underground stems) and forms an excellent
sod.
- Very winterhardy; extremely drought
tolerant
- Slow to establish, may not be
seen until the year after seeding
- Adapts to diverse soils
- Use for hay, pasture, waterways
Establishment:
Test soil and apply recommended lime and fertilizer prior
to planting. May be seeded alone or in mixtures with legumes
or other grasses. It should not be planted with aggressive grasses,
such as rye grass and orchardgrass. Bromegrass needs
time to recover after cutting.
Price: Contact your local dealer or DSM for current pricing.
