Creeping Foxtail is a tall, cool-season, sod-forming grass introduced from Eurasia. It is strongly rhizomatous grass, forming a dense sod. It robust and maintains growth throughout the growing season, producing an almost continuous, quality forage.Well adapted to wetland pastures, Creeping Foxtail will withstand up to 60 to 70 days of inundation once established. It is adapted to a wide range of poorly drained soils and can tolerate strongly acidic to slightly alkaline environments. It is exceptionally frost tolerant where frost-free periods are less than 30 days. It is moderately drought tolerant, but best performs best in areas receiving 18 inches or more annual precipitation. Garrison is the most popular variety and has proven to be an excellent forage producer. It maintains palatability to livestock even after the plant begins heading. It is ideal for hay or pasture on sites too wet to mow or graze in the early summer. Garrison forms vigorous sod, resulting in an effective erosion barrier and is an excellent for erosion control on ponds, lakes, streams or waterway shorelines. The plants provide good nesting cover for waterfowl.
