Sand Lovegrass Eragrostis trichodes
This bunchgrass produces a deep, dense root system. Grows best on sandy soils in the 18-
35” rain belt, but can be planted on heavier soils. Begins its growth several weeks before
other warm-season grasses, and is therefore an important food source for grazing animals.
Seedheads are loose and open, standing 2 feet above the grass in early fall. Reproduces by
seeds and roots, prefers full sun.

Sideoats Grama Bouteloua curtipendula
The official “State Grass of Texas,” this mid-sized plant is often found as an ornamental
accent in residential and commercial landscapes, thanks to the pretty, oat-like seeds that
appear along one side of its stems. Spreads by seeds and roots, and thrives alongside Little
Bluestem in natural grasslands, well-drained uplands, and the shallow soils of ridges and
rocky areas. Found from Kentucky to the Gulf of Mexico. Turkeys use this versatile grass for
food & cover, and it is a good larval food source for butterflies.
