Blue Grama Grass
Bouteloua gracilis ‘Blonde Ambition’
This unique and eye-catching ornamental grass is like nothing you’ve ever seen. Blue grama grass emerges in late spring to early summer with a subtle blue hue. Over the summer, it transforms, and its feathery seed heads steal the show. As summer turns to fall, blue grama grass turns blonde, giving this selection its name. It looks excellent on its own or in combination with just about anything.
