‘Hachita’ is the most vigorous selection of this
beautiful
native grass from the western Great Plains. It is a
native, warm season grass that is beloved for its
“eyelash” seed heads. Quite xeric, ‘Hachita’ Blue
Grama thrives in both sandy soils and clay. We
reccomend using the Blue Grama plugs in ornamental
plantings as either single or group plantings. You
can also interplant plugs with wildflowers to grow a
colorful, low care short grass prairie. Blue Grama
can be planted between small tree plantings, but
does not do well in shade; also good for recreation
areas and highway medians. For a turf type lawn in
the arid and semiarid Southwest, plant plugs 4”
apart. Blue Grama is sold in trays of 70 plugs per
flat. Grows to 4” tall, 15” with seed heads. Zones
3-10.
