Otherwise, certain pruning is required.

Germination & Dormancy Guide (Native Warm-Season Grasses)

Important Note:
Do not expect a full stand in the first year. Native grasses follow a natural germination cycle, and a portion of seeds will emerge in the second growing season. This is normal and not a sign of poor seed quality.
