Plant information

Bromus kalmii, Kalm's brome, is primarily found in dry, sandy soils and open woodlands. This grass provides habitat and food for various wildlife species. Kalm's brome serves as a food source for ground-nesting birds, especially during winter, when its seeds are a vital part of the diet for species such as the American Tree Sparrow (Spizella arborea) and Dark-eyed Junco (Junco hyemalis). The grass also contributes to soil stabilization and is beneficial in conservation planting efforts.

A	Seed should germinate when sown in a warm location.
B	Hot water treatment: Bring water to a boil, remove from heat, pour over seeds, and soak for 24 hours.. Generally this is for seed with a thick seedcoat.

E	These seeds need a 60-90 day warm, moist period followed by a 60-90 day cold, moist period.
F	These seeds need a 60-90 day cold, moist period followed by a 60-90 day warm, moist period followed by a 2nd cold, 60-90 day moist period.
G	Highest germination rate in cool soil.
H	Seeds need scarification: One way this can be achieved is to rub the seed between two sheets of sand paper. If code "C" is also called for, scarify first.
I	Legume Inoculant (more info next year).
J	Legume seeds (more info next year).
