Intermediate Wheatgrass

By

Intermediate Wheatgrass is a long-lived perennial, cool-season, introduced grass used for forage and reclamation purposes. It has short rhizomes and a deep-feeding root system, preferring well-drained loamy to clayey textured soils. Intermediate Wheatgrass will tolerate slightly acidic to mildly saline conditions, can withstand moderate periodic flooding in the spring, and is very tolerant of fire. It is very palatable to livestock and wildlife and adapts well to the stabilization of disturbed soils.
