Side-oats Grama

Side-oats Grama, scientifically known as Bouteloua curtipendula, is a graceful grass that reaches up to 24 inches in height. It features uniquely cascading oat-like seed spikes that add texture and movement to landscapes. With a lovely transition from bluish hues to golden tones in the fall, this grass is perfect for naturalized or prairie gardens. It thrives in full to partial sunlight and prefers loam or sandy soils with dry to medium moisture levels. As a non-aggressive spreader, it’s an excellent choice for low-maintenance landscapes. It also provides ecological benefits by serving as a larval host for butterflies and offering seeds for wild turkeys.
