Seed Information

Stratification code:

  • C(60)=Seeds germinate after a period of cold, moist stratification (A.K.A. winter). You can also mix seeds with a handful of damp vermiculite or clean sand (moist—but not wet). Place mixture in a sealed plastic bag and store in a refrigerator, NOT the freezer.

Includes a brochure with instructions on how to sow native seeds.

 

Plant Information

Hordeum jubatum features long, thin seed heads that resemble a squirrel's tail, adding a touch of whimsy to any landscape. Growing to a height of 1-2 feet, this grass thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun, making it an ideal addition to a sunny border or wildflower meadow.

 

Songbirds are drawn to the seed heads, while the dense foliage offers shelter for small mammals and insects.
