Roadcrest Crested Wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum) is a cool season perennial bunchgrass that is long-lived with a deep root system. It starts growth in early spring and flowers in late spring. Requires a minimum of 10 inches of annual precipitation. Recommended for use along roadsides or similar low-maintenance turf application areas. It prefers well drained soils, and does not adapt to poorly-drained soils or heavy clay soils. It is more sod forming and less clumpy than other crested wheatgrasses.
