HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Direct sow blue joint grass seeds either in late fall or early spring. Plant Calamagrostis Canadensis seeds just below the surface of the soil, compacting the soil very firmly. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, since this seed cannot germinate in dry soil.

Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established. This plant thrives in rich, moist soil, even flourishing in seasonal flooding. Once established, however, it adapts to a variety of soil conditions and tolerates some drought. This plant grows quickly, spreading by shallow rhizomes. It makes an excellent choice for controlling erosion or strengthening stream banks, and attracts birds.

Seed Saving: Keep in mind that the seed production of this species can be low and difficult to harvest. Cut the seed heads from the plant at the end of the season; mature seed will be brown. Spread the plant material out to dry. Thresh to separate the seed from the stems, and store blue joint grass seeds in a cool, dark place.

DESCRIPTION

A valuable wetlands restoration species, this grass is the most frequent associate of sedges. It grows into a dense patch of grass with lots of fibrous roots, so it is an excellent option for strengthening stream banks or shoreline restoration work.
Because of its widespread growth across North America, this native species provides valuable forage for small birds and other wildlife. It most commonly grows in marshy, moist areas such as streambanks or woodlands. The genus name "Calamagrostis" comes from the Greek words for "reed grass," while the species name "canadensis" comes from the Latin for "of Canada."
