Blue Grama Grass (Bouteloua gracilis) 3-pack of pots
Can’t be shipped.
One of the shortest native prairie grasses at just 12 inches, Blue Grama Grass is the perfect grass for garden borders and lawn alternatives. The seed heads of Blue Grama Grass look like little eyebrows. This is a staple in many of our short sunny garden designs where we intermix short grasses with short flowers to create a prairie-like feel.
Also available in 12-packs of plugs here

Blue Grama Grass is extremely valuable for areas where the shortest plants are needed–such as next to borders and sidewalks, where even the other short grasses are not short enough. Blue Grama Grass (Bouteloua gracilis) is one of the last plants to come out of dormancy in the spring, giving short spring flowers a chance to bloom unobstructed.
