Blue Grama Grass

Blue Grama grass (Bouteloua gracilis) is a native, warm-season perennial grass found throughout the Great Plains and southwestern United States. Known for its distinctive "eyelash" seed heads that hang horizontally on one side of the stem, it adds unique texture to landscapes. This drought-tolerant grass thrives in full sun and poor, well-drained soils, making it ideal for xeriscaping and low-maintenance gardens. It forms dense, fine-textured clumps that turns golden-brown in winter, providing year-round visual interest.
