PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Deer Tongue Grass is a 2' to 4' tall native perennial cool season grass. It is tolerant of low pH soils, high concentrations of aluminum, droughty conditions, and infertile soils. For these reasons, it is used in revegetating acid mine sites. Deer Tongue Grass prefers moist to wet sites and does best in full sun. This grass produces two seed crops; a spring crop in an open panicle and a fall crop that remains mostly enclosed in the leaf sheath. Birds eat the seed and the plant lodges during the winter forming a dense cover for wildlife.
