Gramma Grass
Botanical Name: Bouteloua gracilis
Nick Name: (Side Oats)

Description:
One of the most important native range grasses is Blue Grama. It is a long-lived, warm season, short grass that is considered to be one of the most palatable grasses available. Blue Grama is a sod forming, fine textured grass that grows 8 to 12 inches tall on the range. The foliage is grayish green curling to gray or straw yellow. Blue Grama has a good tolerance to low temperatures, alkali soils and is extremely drought resistant. Under moisture stress the foliage goes dormant. It greens up quickly when the moisture is received.
