Blue Grama

Blue Grama is a beloved warm-season bunchgrass known for its distinctive horizontal seed heads that look like tiny combs or eyelashes floating on slender stems. Its fine, bluish-green foliage forms a soft, low-growing texture that works beautifully in sunny meadows, prairie plantings, dry borders, and native lawn alternatives.

Despite its delicate appearance, Blue Grama is remarkably tough, thriving in poor, dry soils with minimal care once established. Its roots help stabilize soil and reduce erosion, while its dense growth provides cover for insects and small wildlife. Pair it with low-growing wildflowers for a resilient, wildlife-friendly planting with subtle movement and year-round structure.
