Recommended planting rate is 1-2 PLS per acre.
Wilman is a warm-season perennial bunchgrass introduced from South Africa. Wilman has been evaluated on a wide variety of soil type in Central and South Texas and appears to have survived cold winters with temperatures of -5 degrees F. Although Wilman is of the same genus, it bears little resemblance to the well known varieties of Lovegrass. Prior to seed head emergence it looks much like Kleingrass (P. coloratum), to which it favorably compares in drought tolerant qualities. A little later in spring growth than Kleingrass, yet reaches 2-4 ft. growth quickly. Used for grazing and hay. Wilman is an outstanding addition to native mixtures in land clearing and range improvement operations. Moderately successful stands have been established with minimum to no soil preparation. Initial stands tend to reseed and increase in density. Plant 2 lbs. PLS per acre on clean firm seedbed.
