Blonde Ambition Blue Grama Grass

Blonde Ambition Blue Grama Grass (Bouteloua gracilis 'Blonde Ambition') is an exceptional ornamental grass known for its unique and striking appearance. This perennial grass cultivar has gained popularity for its upright growth habit and distinctive chartreuse to blonde seed heads that resemble small, shimmering "eyelashes" swaying in the wind. The delicate inflorescences persist throughout the fall and provide visual interest to the landscape during the colder months. Native to North America, this drought-tolerant grass is well-adapted to dry, sandy soils, making it an ideal choice for xeriscapes and water-efficient landscapes. Blonde Ambition Blue Grama Grass reaches a height of about 2 to 3 feet, creating a graceful and ethereal presence in garden borders, prairie gardens, and naturalistic plantings. Its ability to thrive in sunny locations with minimal maintenance requirements makes it a valuable addition to eco-friendly and sustainable landscapes. Additionally, its seeds serve as a valuable food source for birds and wildlife, adding ecological significance to its ornamental appeal.
