About Prairie Cordgrass
Prairie Cordgrass is a native warm season, sod-forming grass also called "rip gut" due to its saw toothed leaf margins at maturity. This grass forms extremely dense stands, spreading by creeping rhizomes and seed produced on tillers 5-7 ft. tall. It grows best on deep, heavy lowland soils and also does well with other warm-season grasses on sub-irrigated sites. Livestock find it palatable when grazed early.
Uses include:
- Soil stabilization
- Erosion control
- Water filtering
- Wildlife habitat
- Landscaping
Does not grow well in the extreme Southeast or Southwest U.S.
