Catarina Blend Bristlegrass
|
A commercial blend of four bristlegrass collections from South Texas. One component is a plains bristlegrass (Setaria vulpiseta (Lam.) Roemer & J.A. Schultes) collected in Webb County, Texas. The other three components are streambed bristlegrass (Setaria leucopila (Scribn. & Merr.) K. Schum.) collected in Karnes, Bexar and Willacy Counties, Texas.
Both of these species of bristlegrass are native, perennial bunch grasses. They produce seed from May to November. Their mature foliage height ranges from 1 to 4 feet tall.
Adaptation: It has performed well at locations in the Rio Grande Plain, Gulf coast Prairies and Marshes and Rolling Plains regions of Texas.
Uses: Is recommended for use in upland wildlife plantings and in rangeland seed mixes. It can be used in many types of conservation plantings, such as riparian buffers and filter strips.
