Additional Information: Blue Grama is a hardy native warm-season grass known for its distinctive, eyelash-shaped seed heads that give it a unique ornamental appeal. This drought-tolerant grass thrives in dry, sunny environments, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping, native grass lawns, and prairie restorations. Blue Grama adapts well to poor soils and has a deep root system that stabilizes soil and prevents erosion. Its fine-textured foliage adds subtle beauty to landscapes and is an essential component of prairie ecosystems, providing habitat and food for birds and small wildlife.
