Bouteloua gracilis ‘Blonde Ambition’ is a standout selection of native blue grama grass, known for its upright habit, fine blue-green blades, and unique chartreuse seed heads that mature to a pale blonde. These quirky, flag-like blooms appear in midsummer and hold through fall and even into winter. Reaching about 2.5 to 3 feet tall with flowers, it’s ideal for xeriscapes, prairie gardens, and modern landscapes where texture and durability matter. This variety thrives in heat, sun, and poor soils with little water or maintenance.
This section shows how the plant will fit into your yard and into your life.
