16 ASSOCIATED SEEDS, INC. 
LEHMANN LOVEGRASS Eragrostis lehmanniana 
Lehmann Lovegrass is a perennial grass, the stems are commonly prostrate and take root 
producing new plants at the nodes. Stems slender, smooth, flexible, 18 to 36 inches long, 
characterized by early and profuse branching. The leaves are short (3”-6”), dark green, 
smooth and narrow, tapering to a fine straight point. 
Seed stalks numerous and average in height about two feet. Seed heads are small (3”-6” ) 
and open. Seed similar in shape and color to Weeping Lovegrass but about one fourth 
the size. More drought-resistant than Weeping Lovegrass but not so winter hardy. Well 
adapted to the southern United States in regions where the winter temperatures do not 
drop below approximately 15° Fahrenheit.

LITTLE BLUESTEM (Prairie Beardgrass) Andropogon scoparius 
A native perennial bunch grass, for early spring and late fall grazing. Well adapted to 
topsoils that are fertile but*somewhat low in lime. The deep and wide spreading root 
system binds the soil and adds organic matter. Easy to start on oak-hickory, peanut, and 
lespedeza soils. By June plants have formed a dense bunch growth of narrow leaves of 
bluish-green color, 12-20 uiches high. The seed stems (2-3% ft.) then grow, reaching 
maturity between August and November. Suitable for planting with Rhodes grass on sandy 
peanut land for permanent pasture and erosion control. 
MEADOW FESCUE Festuca elatior 
Meadow Fescue is a very succulent, bright green bunch grass. Grows very slowly at 
first producing its best growth the second year. Starts early in the spring and lasts into 
the winter months. Will withstand considerable moisture, but is not drought-resistant.
