Native Harvest Blue Grama Grass Seed (Bouteloua gracilis) is a marvelous native grass that can be used for prairie restoration or as a waterwise lawn. The unique eyebrow-like flowers are a joy when they appear in mid-summer and wave in the breeze. A shorter Blue Grama strain for a tamer looking native lawn.
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Native Harvest Blue Grama Grass Seed (Bouteloua gracilis) is one of the dominant grass species of the western short grass prairies, this marvelous native grass has much to offer. It is native over a wide area of the US and can be used for prairie restoration or as a waterwise lawn. The unique eyebrow-like flowers are a joy when they appear in mid-summer, especially when they wave back at us in the slightest breeze.
This is primarily a grass for west of the Mississippi in regions that get about 30" or less of annual precipitation. It grows in a wide range of soil types from sandy to heavy clay and over a wide range of elevations (up to around 7,500 ft). It's a warm season grass that should be sown in late spring (once the days warm consistently) through late summer. It needs heat to germinate, so don't sow it in the fall.
As a low water lawn, sown heavily 3-4 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. so that it fills in tightly. As a meadow grass, sow at 1-2 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft. and can be successfully intermixed with native wildflowers seed. See our Planting Blue Grama Grass Seed guide for more information.
