A vigorous perennial bunchgrass. Seed stalks are numerous and slender, reaching to 5 feet under the best conditions. Basal leaves are numerous, slender, 10 to 20 inches long, palatable while succulent, but of low palatability when ripe. Plants are semihardy, enduring temperatures to about -10 degree Farenheit. They are readily established by seeding and make a quick ground cover. Seed 1 lb/acre for pasture or 2 to 3 lbs/acre for waterways.

Grows 2 to 4 feet tall. Major uses are primarily as a hay plant but also used for pasture. It is popular as a hay crop for horses although other grasses are equally satisfactory. Hay should be cut in the boot or early bloom stage to obtain best quality. Late cut timothy hay is of low quality. Seed are planted at 6 to 8 lb/A with a clover, alfalfa, or trefoil in August, September, or early spring.

Southern States Coated Orchardgrass is an early maturing orchardgrass that has been selected for persistence under heavy grazing. It is ideal for pastures or hay with great palatability, excellent plant vigor and superior forage yield. It is also drought tolerant and has resistance to stem rust.

Tall fescue is a bunch-type grass, but will spread slowly to form a dense sod. Tall fescue is a deep-rooted, cool-season, perennial grass which works well for gully-healing and erosion control.
