A North American native and all-natural beauty that is exceptionally easy to grow, 'Blonde Ambition' Blue Grama Grass has raised Bouteloua gracilis to a higher level of appeal and charm. With foliage, growth habit and size very similar to muhly grass, this ornamental grass features horizontal and elegant blonde color seed heads that float like flags on thin stems that rise above an upright 2.5 to 3 feet tall clump of attractive thin blue-green leaves. Blonde Ambition was named a 2011 Plant Select Winner for its resistance to pests, dry conditions, and exceptional good looks and long-lasting attractiveness in garden beds and containers.

Grama Grass is every easy to grow and maintain. It is resistant to heat, humidity, sun, and drought. Make sure to plant it in a site with very well-drained soil. Add sand and or small gravel to dense clay soils. Will appreciate moisture and a little plant food during the first growing season to establish itself but after that is drought tolerant and requires no fertilizer. Full sun is preferred for best flowering however the plant will tolerate and still flower with some light shade. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight for best flowering. Foliage can be cut back to just above the ground in late winter before new growth begins to emerge in spring.
