Summer Evergreen California Natives | Blue Grama Grass

Описание: Blue grama grass (Bouteloua gracilis) is a tough, durable, low-water-demanding, and highly ornamental grass that thrives in even the most punishing full sun conditions. Its small size and toughness makes it perfect for planting next to sidewalks and paths or in smaller planters or parking strips. It pairs beautifully with native flowering perennials and adds texture to your landscape. As a semi-bunchgrass, it should be planted at least a foot apart to allow it to group well and spread naturally. While it’s not suited for heavy foot traffic, blue grama grass can create lovely tufted meadow aesthetic, providing vibrant summer green when some other California natives will be going dormant. This grass will go dormant in the winter, but dried flowers remain ornamental. It benefits from a hard cutback each year in late winter or early spring. The foliage is important food for skipper butterflies, making it a fantastic choice for a pollinator-friendly garden!
