Blonde Ambition Blue Grama Grass – 1 Live Ornamental Grass, 3-Gallon Size – Bouteloua gracilis ‘Blonde Ambition’

Blonde Ambition Blue Grama Grass (Bouteloua gracilis ‘Blonde Ambition’) is a warm-season ornamental perennial grass admired for its fine-textured foliage and distinctive, horizontally arranged seed heads. The delicate green leaves form an attractive clump, while the flowering stems create an airy, architectural appearance in sunny landscapes.

During summer, unusual chartreuse flower heads emerge above the foliage and gradually develop pale golden-blonde tones. Their characteristic eyelash-like shape provides movement and texture, and the seed heads often remain decorative into autumn and winter. The foliage may develop tan or straw-colored shades as the plant enters seasonal dormancy.

Blonde Ambition Blue Grama Grass performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. It is particularly suited to dry gardens, prairie-inspired landscapes, xeriscaping, and mixed perennial borders. Once established, this North American native-species cultivar tolerates drought and generally requires less water than many moisture-loving ornamental grasses.
