Eastern Gamagrass

Pending NPSOT review

A big, clumping relative of corn for the wet bottomland. Seed is notoriously dormant — cold-moist stratify or fall-sow — but mature clumps divide easily, which is our shortcut for filling gaps.

StatusA working first pass, being reconciled against NPSOT and USDA PLANTS. Corrections welcome at [email protected].
