‘Blonde Ambition’ adds a soft, fine, wispy texture to a garden with its narrow foliage and unusual vertical flower. The unique display of airy flower heads begins in late summer and persists well into fall. Its tall, slender bluish-green foliage at the start of the season transitions to a golden straw in the fall. ‘Blonde Ambition’ out-rivals other ornamental grasses with its rare, light texture.
Bouteloua gracilis, or Blue Grama Grass, is a North American native from prairies, plains, and open rocky woodlands of the Western U.S. This species is known for its drought tolerance, cold hardiness, and unconventional new look.
