Weeping Lovegrass is a rapidly-growing warm-season Bunchgrass that was introduced into the United States from East Africa. The many long, narrow leaves emerging from a tight tuft are pendulous, with the tips almost touching the ground. The drooping leaf characteristic gives rise to the name "weeping" Lovegrass. Leaf height is rarely above 12 in. The seedheads are open panicles, reaching a height of 30 to 40 in., and containing numerous small, fine seeds.
Product Detail
- Warm-season bunchgrass
- Leaf height 12 inches
- Well drained soil
- Warm season annual
- Rapid growing
Product Information
Weeping Lovegrass is distributed throughout the southern United States.
Weeping Lovegrass prefers a light-textured, well-drained soil, and will thrive on soils of low fertility. Climatic conditions determine its range of adaptation. Low winter temperatures will prevent regrowth and cause the grass to act as an annual or a short-lived perennial.
This grass is easy to establish by seed. Seed alone at a rate of 3 to 5 lbs. per acre, or 1 to 2 lbs. per acre in mixtures with other species. Seeds will germinate quickly and plant growth is rapid. The seed is extremely fine, requiring mechanical seeding equipment to have small seed attachments. If seeded with a hand cyclone seeder, the Lovegrass Seed should be mixed with a diluent or a carrier (cornmeal, sand, or fine sawdust) for uniform distribution of seed. Do not cover seed more than 1/2 to 1 in. on sandy soils; 1/4 in. is sufficient on silt loams. Cultipacking soil before seeding is helpful.
Sites too steep or stony for use of mechanical equipment can be seeded without soil scarification. Broadcast seeding by air or use of hydroseeders is successful if seeding rates are increased to compensate for poor seedbed. Where possible, the soil should be scarified and firmed.
Normally, weeping Lovegrass can be planted after danger of severe frost is over, and anytime throughout the summer with success. Lime and fertilizer needs are similar to that for Tall Fescue and Ryegrass when used for temporary cover.
