Ivan's Cat Grass

If you observe cats roaming in the great outdoors, chances are you will occasionally find them munching on grasses. "Cat Grass" is actually a catch-all for any number of domesticated grain grasses, which cats typically munch on well before their seeding stage. Of course, each cat has their own idiosyncratic preferences, but in the absence of any wild grasses, our cat grass blend works wonders. Our blend is named after our Maine Coon Ivan, who readily munches on this whenever we plant it. It's equal parts barley (Hordeum vulgare), oat (Avena sativa), rye (Secale cereal) and wheat (Triticum aestivum). Plant densely in contained areas wherever cats are likely to discover it.

25 days from seed to cat-snackable foliage. Annual.

Seeds are certified organic.

Size: Packet: 300 seeds (8.5 grams), OG
