Snake River Wheatgrass

Snake River Wheatgrass is a cool-season, perennial bunch grass native to the northern Great Plains and Intermountain regions of the western United States.  It is long-lived, and tolerant of cold, drought and fire.  It grows successfully from 500 to 10,000 feet above sea level and prefers coarse-textured soils.   Snake River Wheatgrass is palatable to livestock and wildlife.  Because of its drought tolerance, seedling vigor, and extensive root system it is a good component for reclamation mixes.   Snake River Wheatgrass is compatible with slower developing native species but does not do well with aggressive introduced grasses.
