I was wondering what types of grasses I could Winter Sow
here in zone 5 that will thrive.

Thanks Connie

Connie..most ornamental grasses don't need cold stratification to germinate. Frequently, I've had warm season grass seed rot in the containers before the soil ever got warm enough to germinate the seed. For that reason, I winter sow only cool season grasses like Festuca and Deschampsia. Warm season grasses I sow in late winter, or spring.
