Grass, Blue Grama
Bouteloua gracilis
Native shortgrass prairie icon with eyelash seed heads that float sideways. Extremely drought tough for Central Texas meadows and lawn alternatives.
Landscape use
Prairie mixes, meadow lawns, rock gardens, and native grass ribbons.
Care
Full sun, lean soil, almost no water once established. Mow high if used as turf alternative or leave seed heads for winter interest. Avoid rich irrigation.
