Photograph of a Rhodesgrass plant. The back of the photograph proclaims, “Rhodesgrass – (Chloris gayana) is a perennial grass native to South Africa and was first introduced and very leafy and grows approximately 3 feet high. The spreading, clustered spikes of the flowering head number from 10 to 15, and seed is produced in abundance. The plant also spreads by running branches, or stolons, that are 2 to 6 feet long and root and produce a plant at every node. It is not winter-hardy and rarely withstands temperatures below 15 to 18 degrees Fahrenheit. It does best on fairly moist soil, although it will make growth during several months of drought. It can be sewn any time during warm weather, but early spring usually is preferred. It was first fultivated [sic] for pasture, withstands trampling, recovers quickly, and is relished by livestock. Rotational grazing in the best method of management.“
