DESCRIPTION
Bouteloua gracilis 'Blonde Ambition', a selection of the native blue grama grass, originates from the prairies of North America. It blooms from mid to late summer, producing an abundance of chartreuse flowers held horizontally on tall stems, resembling tiny, fluttering eyelashes. As the season progresses, the seed heads mature to a soft blonde color, standing out against the fine-textured blue-green foliage.
What makes 'Blonde Ambition' unique is its larger seed heads compared to the species, along with its tendency to remain upright and showy well into winter, adding year-round visual interest. The airy, floating effect of its seed heads combined with its exceptional cold hardiness makes it a standout choice for naturalistic plantings or mixed borders.
