HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow either in late fall or early spring. Press the Eragrostis Trichodes seed into the surface of the soil, compacting the soil very firmly. For spring planting, mix the sand love grass seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 60 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination.
Growing: Water seedlings occasionally until they become established. Mature plants tolerate heat and drought well, since they prefer dry and sandy soil. This plant readily spreads and reseeds itself, and can grow very quickly in good conditions. It makes an excellent choice for erosion control, as well as being a beautiful ornamental grass.
Seed Saving: At the end of the season, the seed heads will begin to ripen and turn color. Strip the seed from the stem, and separate the seed from the plant material. Store the sand love grass seeds in a cool, dry place.
