Blue Grama is a 1' to 2' tall native perennial warm season bunch grass. It is one of the principal grasses of the short grass prairies in the grasslands and foothills of most western states. It naturally grows on dry sites in full sun. It is not tolerant of flooding or shade. Although this is a clump grass, frequent mowing will cause this grass to perform as a turfgrass. It is an excellent plant for rock gardens, native plant gardens dry meadows and prairies, and other landscaping areas where drought tolerant plants are needed. It is an essential restoration and conservation plant for the western plains.
