Blue Grama is a warm-season, perennial bunchgrass that grows up to 3 by 3 feet. Growing in full sun and dry, well-drained, gravelly soils, this ornamental grass produces attractive, blue-green seed heads that hang horizontally. Blue Grama is very drought tolerant, surviving conditions with only few inches of annual rain. It attracts butterflies and seed-eating birds, and turns a tan color when dormant.
