Xerophyllum tenax
BEAR GRASS
- Unit price
- / per
This Western North American native grass grows well in moist, sunny conditions. Typically flowers from May-July, though may not flower every year. Generally one of the first plants to grow back after a wild fire.
An interesting addition to cut-flowers.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 5-9
Height: 150cm, 60"
Location: Sun or part shade
Seeds per packet: 25
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18°C, 59-68°F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
