Turfgrass Information

Junegrass, Koeleria Cristata

Big Bluestem

Full Sun, Cool-season

Junegrass has a yellow flower in late spring and then goes dormant over the summer heat. It did not have very strong growth the first season in the trial, and it was not very ornamental in the second year either.
