Sideoats grama, Bouteloua curtipendula
Full Sun, Native, Warm-Season
Sideoats grama flowers add a unique look to landscapes with all the spikelets hanging off to one side of the stem. It’s a very adaptable native plant that can take a variety of soils and low water conditions. Sideoats grama has a clumping form and fairly compact growth. The foliage goes from green to bronze-purple in the fall
These grasses were very quick to establish in the trial. A few seedlings sprouted in the second year, so be aware that it can re-seed itself in an area.
