How to grow blue grama

Bouteloua gracilis

When to plant blue grama

Blue grama is a low warm-season perennial bunchgrass established from seed (it self-seeds readily). As a warm-season grass it is best sown or set out in spring; NC State notes it can even be mowed to about 2 inches and used as a low-water lawn alternative.

Blue Grama is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
