Anyone know any good books for native grasses and how to establish growth. Particularly looking to maximize a SWA. Need to know the native grasses first.

What kind of book are you looking for? Most of the grass guides I have are line drawings. Forest Plants of the Southeast is a good all around guide, and has several of our native grasses. Dr. Charles Allen has published a great book on the Grasses of Louisiana, but it is all line drawings.

Marc Pastorek (meadowmaker.wordpress.com if I remember correctly) has a great list of books on native plants (primarily prairie), and there is one on there that is made by a woman in Mississippi. All about propagating plants.

Btw, what do you mean by SWA?

Just caught up to Internet.

SWA is shallow water area. Trying to identify what I have and what's good for ducks.

I've watched some videos online on disturbing the soils etc to generate more annuals vs perennials but I'd like to be able to find a book with pictures telling me what plant is what.
