HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow side oats grama seeds either in late fall or early spring. Plant Bouteloua Curtipendula seeds just below the surface of the soil, compacting the soil very firmly. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established. Because of their extensive root system, the plants grow rather slowly. This plant grows best in average, well drained soil, though it adapts to nearly any soil type including rocky, shallow soil and clay. It tolerates drought and cold temperatures extremely well. This plant may self-seed, and resists deer and attracts small birds. It makes an excellent choice for controlling erosion, as well as being ornamental throughout the autumn and winter.
Seed Saving: Collect the seed as soon as the seed heads begin to turn tan and dry; the seed should strip easily from the stem. Spread Bouteloua Curtipendula seeds out in a protected location until they have dried completely. Store side oats grama seeds in a cool, dry place.

Texas State Grass - Side Oats Grama
They are easy to grow. I bought from another supplier this spring, and throw them over a dirt patch with Buffalo seeds, and they performed well. So I bought more from Everwilde farm this fall to see if they can grow fairly well in wooded area on a slop to slow down the rain runoff water. Thank you Everwild Farm!
well packaged
