Comments
The height problem on this may straighten out next year (become taller) as it is listed as a perennial; Due to a very wet spring we held this one back in 48’s for too long apparently. Once we set it out, it never grew at all!; Plants look good, bloom next year!; I don’t have a place for a perennial grass in my field; I did not realize this perennial will produce blooms the first year until an article I read in mid-summer; We treated this as a transplant and felt the yield was not high enough to warrant the extra work. Would like to try it as a direct seed crop next year. We have let it stand to over-winter – you know Albertans, the true optimists in zone 2!
