Body
Siberian wheatgrass is a long-lived bunchgrass similar to crested wheatgrass. It is a native to the Steppes of central Eurasia. It was introduced into the United States in 1906, but was not successfully grown until the 1920's.
Seeding characteristics are good and seedlings are vigorous. It also greens up early in the spring providing early spring grazing. It remains green about two weeks longer in the summer than does standard crested wheatgrass. The difference is more noticeable where late spring showers occur. (source introduction)
