I’ve pulled my hair out for 2 years trying natives. I gave up and went back to a Bermuda blend. Came right up in the same soil and same planting methods.
Yeah, I found the same thing. I’ve been collecting and sowing native prairie grass seed for some years now. Indian Grass, Side Oat Grama, Canada Rye, Switchgrass, and Big and Little Bluestem mostly.
I think a lot of it is out competed by what’s growing there, but in the fall is when it really stands out, and I realize it was there.
