Bouteloua
at Digging Dog
Including Bouteloua curtipendula, & Bouteloua gracilis
Bouteloua
Sideoats Grama
For its distinctive inflorescences, colorful fall foliage and phenomenal drought tolerance, this Midwestern denizen reigns supreme. Purplish oatlike spikelets, uniformly draped along one side of the upright or arching stalks, eventually blanch to a straw hue. Enduring a wide range of soils and difficult sites, Side Oats Grama forms erect, wiry light green clumps that broadcast violet, orange and red autumnal shades.
Planted in drifts, meandering amid other medium statured grasses and smaller perennials, a dramatic statement is yours to enjoy, while the birds and butterflies feast on the fodder.
Blooms June – November. Size: 2'–3' high x 12" wide; hardy to zone 3. Bouteloua curtipendula (G-0513)
Each $7.75

Mosquito Grass
We wish more plants were like this one! This North American native is tough, drought tolerant, and adds delicacy and movement wherever it’s placed. Slightly iridescent, Mosquito Grass offers tiny seed heads borne atop thin, wiry stems. Resembling aerial minnows, the inflorescences dart above 1 ft. clumps of dense, narrow blades. Plant them next to a garden seat or steps where they can be enjoyed at close range.
Blooms June–November. Size: 18" high x 12" wide; hardy to zone 5.
Bouteloua gracilis (g-0002)
Each $7.75
