Bouteloua gracilis – Blue Grama Grass (Mosquito Grass)
A long-lived California native grass with undeniable charm, Bouteloua gracilis forms fine-textured tufts of blue-green foliage topped in summer and fall by one of the most distinctive seed heads in the grass world — showy purplish blue flowers held horizontally like long eyelashes above the leaves. Cool-season interest continues as the seed heads persist through winter. Drought and deer tolerant, it thrives in many soil types and is perfect for low-maintenance landscapes, meadows, and naturalistic plantings.
