Sun (at least 6 hours/day during summer.) A warm-season shortgrass, drought-tolerant and useful as a turfgrass. It may grow up to about a foot in height but normally stays at about six inches. Native to mesquite savannahs, including the San Antonio River basin. The leaves curl during dormancy, hence the name.
Grown from a seed mix, curly mesquite is blended with blue grama and buffalograss to produce a dry native turfgrass suitable for lawn grass and bare feet.
