Hesperostipa comata<\/em>,
\nNeedle and Threadgrass<\/strong> (old nomenclature: Stipa comata)<\/em>(Native) <\/strong><\/p>\n

Medium to tall, 2 – 4 ft., perennial, drought-tolerant, cool-season bunchgrass.\u00a0 Adapted best to sandy or gravelly to loamy textures but grows on more fine texture, well drained soils also. Widely distributed over the western and plains states from low to medium high elevations.\u00a0 Fair to good palatable forage before needle-sharp seeds mature and again after they drop. Fire-tolerant and often is one of the first species to establish on a disturbed site. Very valuable native grass for revegetation of disturbed soil caused by mining and other activities on harsh, dry, sandy or gravelly soils. Very valuable native wildlife habitat species. Minimum precip. is 8 inches.\u00a0 Plant in fall \u00bd inch deep.\u00a0 115,000 seeds\/lb.<\/p>\n
