Abstract/Contents: | "A study was initiated to help determine long-term performance of several native grass species under low input landscape conditions. Containerized plants were transplanted in a fenced-in garden during Mar., Apr., or May 1998, and evaluated monthly during the 1998, 1999, and 2000 growing seasons. Most native species in this evaluation were north or central Florida ecotypes. There were six replications per species arranged in a completely random design. The species were: Agrostis hyemalis (Walt.) B.S.P. (ticklegrass); Andropogon capillipes Nash (chalky bluestem); Aristida beyrichiana Trin. & Rupr. (wiregrass); Aristida spiciformis Ell. (bottlebrush threeawn); Chasmanthium latifolium (Michx.) Yates (Indian woodoats); Ctenium aromaticum (Walt.) Wood (toothache grass); Dichanthelium laxiflorum (Lam.) Gould openflower rosette grass); Eragrostis hirsuta (Michx.) Nees (bigtop lovegrass); Muhlenbergia capillaris (Lam.) Trin. (gulf muhly grass); Pityopsis graminifolia (Michx.) Nutt. (grassleaf golden aster - a dicot with grass-like foliage); Saccharum alopecuroidum (L.) Nutt. (silver plumegrass); and Sorghastrum secundum (Ell.) Nash (lopsided Indiangrass). The top-ranked grasses, based on aesthetic qualities and survival, were Andropogon capillipes, Chasmanthium latifolium, Eragrostis hirsuta and Muhlenbergia capillaris." |
