SUMMARY

Blue Grama is a native, perennial, warm-season, short grass that seldom grows taller than 12 to 20 inches. Blue Grama reproduces only by seed, and as the seed heads mature, they usually bend into a curve that resembles a human eyebrow. It produces a low basal type growth that forms a bunchy sod.

ARID ADAPTED

Selected for the driest end of blue grama's range.

EXTREME DROUGHT

Persists on rainfall in single-digit precipitation country.

CURES STANDING

Retains winter nutrition for deferred grazing.

LOW WATER TURF

A native turf option where irrigation isn't available.

EROSION CONTROL

Dense low growth protects thin desert soils.

GRAZING RESISTANT

Low growth point tolerates close, repeated grazing.

SLOW ESTABLISHMENT

Patience required — natives take two to three seasons.
