Bouteloua gracilis 'Blonde Ambition' is a rugged native grass that absolutely steals the show come summer and fall. When paired with the purple or pink contrasting flowers like native coneflower, or allium this grass creates an almost irresistible texture of blonde flags that dance in a gentle breeze among the complementary colors. It's truly a spectacular site to behold. Use it to naturalize a large area or pair it with individual plants in a garden bed for a spectacular display. It can also be used in large containers as a thriller to complement colorful spillers.
There is so much to love about this grass. It is easy to grow and adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions. It is also native, providing quality food for birds and the insects they feed on. The flags hang on through the winter providing additional interest as they collect frost or ice and shimmer in the breeze. On top of all that it is beautiful and underutilized. Be one of the first in your neighborhood to put it to use and help us rejuvenate our native landscape at that same time.
