Bear Grass (Xerophyllum tenax) is a unique, ornamental grass native to North America, traditionally used in Native American basket weaving. The plant features long, slender, grass-like leaves that form attractive clumps and produce tall, creamy-white flower spikes in the summer. Bear Grass is a hardy and drought-tolerant plant, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping and low-maintenance gardens.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS (Included on packet):
Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Light stratification for 2-4 weeks can improve germination rates. Plant seeds on the soil surface, as they require light to germinate. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in well-draining soil and full sun to partial shade. Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Bear Grass prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil pH levels.
