Native to the Midwest and Western US, blue grama is the most heat- and drought-tolerant native grass. The fascinating inflorescence (arrangement in a row like eyelashes) turn golden brown and occasionally red in the fall, curling as they dry, and the feathery foliage makes a nice contrast in rock gardens and xeric plantings. Skipper butterflies use this grass as a host plant, and birds enjoy the seeds.

    Blue grama

    Didn't come out as great as the flower seeds, a bit disappointed, but I did order more haven't planted them yet. I plan on doing the planning in early spring to see if they come out better. I'm very happy with the company and there products, since I'm a beginner just trying out gardening. I will see if this makes a difference. Fast delivery...I plan to order more seeds when spring comes around.
