Eastern Gamagrass

Description

Eastern Gamagrass is a native, warm-season, perennial tall grass. The grass grows in large clumps from 1-4 feet in diameter, that spread by thick, knotty rhizomes and from seeds. The plant itself will grow to heights of 3 – 9 feet.

Because it is highly palatable to livestock, more growers are including Eastern Gamagrass in mixtures with other warm-season grasses or are planting it in pure stands for hay production.
