Thickspike Wheatgrass – Waterwise Turf

Thickspike Wheatgrass is a drought tolerant reclamation grass which also makes a good low maintenance turf.  It is a cool season, sodforming grass, medium green in color.  It handles a medium amount of traffic.  Unlike many of its drought tolerant turf competitors, Thickspike Wheatgrass is a sodforming grass so it makes more of a mat rather than the uneven surface of a bunchgrass.  It can be slow to establish a lawn but the effort is worth it.  The seeding rate for a Thickspike Wheatgrass lawn is 5 lbs per 1000 sq ft.
