Blue Grama
Bouteloua gracilis 'Blonde Ambition'
Grasses
Blue grama is an excellent ornamental grass that forms neatly rounded clumps of finely-textured foliage. Its scale, softness, and fluttery swarm of seedheads play particularly well with larger, upright grasses (such as feather reed grass), as well as in massings.
