Eriochloa sericea is a species of grass known by the common name Texas cupgrass. It is native to Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas in the United States and to northern Mexico.[1]
This perennial grass grows up to 3.5 feet tall and forms tufts.[2]
In the wild this grass grows on prairies on rocky, loamy soils.[3]
This is a good grass for grazing livestock. It withstands moderate grazing pressure but not overgrazing.[2]
