About this item

  • Ornamental grasses are known for their hardiness and their ease in care. They add color, texture and movement to the landscape without creating a lot of extra work!
  • Start these Foxtail Barley seeds for Zones 4 - 10. Use 4 to 5 seeds per ornamental grass plant.
  • Ornamental grass seeds can be sown in the spring after danger of frost has passed. The perennials will typically be dormant in winter and can be cut back in spring when new growth is showing.
  • Hordeium jubatum is also known as Squirrel Tail Grass. It has highly attractive flower heads that are in shades of pink and white.
  • Start the seed indoors 4 – 6 weeks before the last expected frost date in the spring. Cover with 1/8 inch of soil and keep the seed moist. With a temperature of 70F, germination usually occurs in 14 days. Transplant outdoors and space 18 inches apart.

Product Description

If You...

Like native ornamental grasses, try growing Foxtail Barley grass seeds!

Image of prairie grass with dew drops on it

Foxtail Barley (Hordeum jubatum)

The Foxtail Barley is also commonly called Squirrel Tail Grass. It prefers full sun and moist to dry conditions. In the wild, Hordeum jubatum Foxtail Barley can be found growing along the edges of marshes, poorly drained fields, pastures, and gravelly areas along roads and railroads. It even tolerates salt, but it cannot compete well with taller vegetation. Hordeum jubatum has gained popularity as an ornamental grass because of its highly attractive flower heads.

The fluffy heads of the Hordeum Jubatum are flushes of pale pink and purple, but will fade to light tan as they mature and grow. Their silky tufted flowers quite resemble the tails of foxes, and it appears that they are always bending downward, as if they are nodding off to sleep.

The Foxtail Barley can grow in many different kinds of soils. It requires little care and is easily grown. It does best in full sun, and in moist to dry well-drained soils. Squirrel Tail Grass is great in mass plantings, beds, or borders!

Hordeum Jubatum Seeds

How to Grow

The ornamental grass seeds can be started directly outdoors in spring once frost danger has passed. Prepare a leafy organic matter free seedbed and press seeds slightly into the soil. Cover no more than 1/8 inch.

Or seeds can be sown indoors about 4 - 6 weeks before the last frost.

Foxtail Barley is known to self-sow easily, but it is shallow-rooted making unwanted seedlings easy to pull and remove.

  • Average Germ Time: 7 - 14 days

  • USDA Zones: 4 - 10

I think this is the 5-time I've ordered the Lemongrass seeds from your company. The germination rate was very high. Seeds planted with just a dusting of potting mix over the top of the seeds. The only thing I wish is there was a larger quantity package of seeds offered. I purchase a lot of seeds on-line. Your company is at the top of my list quality and dependability.

Size: 500 SeedsStyle: Love Grass - PurpleVerified Purchase
I wish I would have realized this is a typical weed that grows everywhere in my area (michigan). The picture is deceiving because it shows a beautiful ornamental grass but after researching I realized that it already grows wild on my property in the ditch by the road. For me this is a bad buy and not what I expected due to my ignorance.

Started them off with just a light in a cool basement. Surprisingly 4 months later have a 70% success rate of seed growth. Looking forward to keep that up when the weather warms and they go outside.
The package is ridiculously small and hard to miss when packed with other items. Maybe make it a bright color or put in a larger envelope.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful addition to a desert landscape
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2014
Size: 1000 SeedsStyle: Mexican Feather GrassVerified Purchase
Although we have lived in the desert for more than 20 years, I had never seen Mexican Feather Grass until this past fall when I saw them in a local garden center. There are many large, ornamental grasses dotting the landscape here since they tend to do well with minimal water and add some softness to the landscape. However, the Mexican feather grass is smaller and a lush, soft green in summer rather than the dull earth tones of most ornamentals. Although they do turn buff color in winter, it is summer when a touch of green is needed here. In addition they are smaller, reaching only about a foot tall and wide.

The plants I saw were so lovely that I thought they would be the perfect addition to a xeriscape Victorian garden look we want for the most public section of our front yard, edging the driveway and front walk. But digging holes in our hard desert soil for forty plants was a little more than I wanted to take on. So I decided to try seeds. Most plants native to Mexico do very well here with minimal supplemental water once established.

Unfortunately the first packet of 2000 seeds I ordered was accidently thrown away and I ordered another 1000. Both orders of Outsidepride Mexican Feather Grass were shipped from Outsidepride and came in a nice little packet, clearly labeled with planting instructions. Something very important that I've learned in ordering seeds is PAY ATTENTION to the seller and their reviews! I've ordered a least a dozen different kinds of seeds. Most come in tiny, clear plastic baggies with no labeling or instructions. A good seller will at least include a page with instructions. But one order for three different kinds arrived with no labeling so I have guess which are poppies, daisies or wildflowers! Since the poppies were Outside Pride poppy seeds that means that that particular seller had actually removed the Outside Pride exterior packaging with the labeling info.

By the time the second order of 1000 seeds arrived we already had our Christmas light up which made planting impossible. So I decided to start some of the seeds inside. The organic eggs I buy come in a clear plastic container with a "double" lid, i.e., there is an egg shaped lid that fits around the eggs and another flat top that closes over that. I decided to use the empty container as twelve little terrariums for the seeds. I put a mix of seed starter and potting soil in each section and then put in about six of these tiny seeds (this is a grass and the seeds are VERY tiny). I used a dropper to add water. Then I closed it up and set it on the sill of a south facing window. Less than two weeks later- every single compartment has little blades of grass coming up!

The instructions say to keep moist until germination so I am going to open the "terrarium" now but leave in the same window. When I can see a root system I will use a deep waterer to put holes along the drive and walk and transfer these seedlings. I don't know if they will have a better chance of survival than planting from seeds but at least I will be able to tell the difference between them and the little weeds that have started coming up since out winter rains :-)

So I am going to start a few more cartons of seeds to finish out the front and also have some for around the pool area in back. But I will keep a few seeds to try starting outside.

Update 4-18-15 California residents see comments. It took me forever to find it (does google have something against California?) I didn't find an actual law but did find that the California Native Plant society does consider this a noxious plant because its seeds are so invasive. Only one of my plants has "seeded" but the Arizona desert is so inhospitable that I'm not expecting an invasion. But in fairness to my neighbors, I did cut off the "feathers" with the seeds just in case :) Really too bad- it was pretty.

I have been unable to get a single seed to sprout. I've followed all the details, bought the correct soil, monitored the temperature and moisture level, used the same seed starting style for the greenhouse effect that I've used successfully in the past, but nothing. Two rounds of attempts and just a waste of money.

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2022
Size: 100 SeedsStyle: Fountain Grass - ChineseVerified Purchase
Ordered these seeds and divided them up into seed starting pots indoors to discover that the package was short 4 seeds. They sprouted quickly which was great, but 25 seeds didn't sprout at all. Sure, that's the nature of seeds but my odds of plants were dropping rapidly.

They grew to about 4-6" when I decided to plant them. They haven't grown since. They're still green, they're still alive but eh, stopped, gave up. No idea why they're not getting any taller. Zone 5, FYI.

So, I doubt I'm going to end up with gloriously large grasses. These seem a fail almost all around. Keeping hope alive but not by much. Won't buy this brand of seed again.
