Its fine-textured green foliage and distinctive eyebrow-shaped seed heads create a soft, natural look in meadows, wildflower plantings, and low-water landscapes. This drought-tolerant grass is an excellent choice for xeriscaping, native plant gardens, and erosion control on sunny, dry sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue Grama Grass provides habitat and forage for wildlife and adds movement and texture to the garden. It can be used as a low-maintenance groundcover, in prairie restorations, or as an ornamental accent in borders and containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative warm-season bunchgrass with fine green foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistinctive horizontal seed heads that resemble eyebrows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent drought tolerance once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides habitat and forage for birds and wildlife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdaptable to a range of well-drained soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bouteloua gracilis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm-season perennial grass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, sandy to loamy soil; tolerates poor and rocky soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clump-forming bunchgrass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer to early fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow Blue Grama Grass seeds in late spring or early summer when soil temperatures are consistently warm. Scatter seeds on the soil surface and press them lightly into the top 1\/8 inch of soil; do not bury deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the area evenly moist until seedlings emerge, then reduce watering as plants establish. Thin or space seedlings to allow good air circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, Blue Grama Grass is very low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep roots. Cut back old foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This grass thrives in full sun and well-drained soil; avoid overwatering or poorly drained sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664772825224,"sku":"BOTAN4-007","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/il_fullxfull.7671964340_r6t3_85d8872f-c7f2-4122-a8e8-e0102bd1ae14.jpg?v=1791898856","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/100-seeds-blue-grama-grass-bouteloua-gracilis-native-prairie-drought-tolerant","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
