Full Sun (At Least 6 Hours Of Direct Sunlight)Mature Height 30 - 36 InchesMature Spread 30 - 36 InchesGrowing Zones 4 - 9This North American prairie native plant has horizontal seed heads that will add drama to your sunny gardens beginning in mid to late summer. Even when not in seed, the blue-green upright blades of grass will color and texture to your landscape. The flowers of the Blonde Ambition blue grama are sure to draw the eyes of any visitors to a landscape.They appear suspended from one side of the flowering stem and look like little eyelashes, beginning chartreuse before bleaching. The foliage is also attractive in its own right, with narrow, blue-gray leaves. This tall grama grass will have a height and spread of 30 to 36 inches at maturity. Blonde Ambition Blue Grama is hardy in USDA planting zones 4 through 9.Exceptionally tough, this grass is cold hardy, low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. It also boasts resistance to deer while providing habitat for birds and butterflies. The interesting seed heads remain on the semi-evergreen plant into the winter to add an extra season of interest to the landscape. With minimal maintenance requirements, it is an excellent addition in mass plantings, wildlife-friendly yards, borders or in rock or prairie gardens. This blue grama even lends itself well to cut flower gardens or containers. Blue grama is native to the United States. This grass can be used in mass plantings, as an accent plant or to add height in a perennial or mixed garden. It will happily take on the thriller role in a large container garden. Blonde Ambition Blue Grama Grass CareThis easy to care for plant will grow in any well-drained soil with average soil fertility. Once established, the grass is drought tolerant and will thrive in most conditions as long as the soil drains well. Water newly-planted grasses and specimens in containers more frequently, or whenever the soil around the plant feels dry. Mulching is not necessary but if the plant is grown in a mulched bed, keep the mulch around the plant no more than an inch deep. When planting you can add compost to help amend the soil. You may also apply a slow release and balanced fertilizer each spring according to directions. Because this plant is native to North America, fertilizing isnt necessary. Blonde Ambition blue grama grows best in sites with full sun. This plant is very low-maintenance, with no pruning requirements in summer or fall in order to maintain winter interest. Simply cut the grass back to a few inches in mid-spring as soon you see new green growth begin to emerge from the ground. After cutting, you can also use a gloved hand or small rake to scratch out the thatch at the base of the plant.Blonde Ambition Blue Grama Grass SpacingThe Blonde Ambition naturally has a rounded form and grows up to about three feet tall and wide. It is a moderate grower, so give each plant about three feet of space. Space plants 30 to 36 inches apart for a garden border. But do not go less than that, so the plants have room to reach their full glorious potential.Blonde Ambition Blue Grama Grass InformationUSDA Hardiness Zones: 4 - 9Plant Type: Light Exposure: Full Sun (At Least 6 Hours Of Direct Sunlight)Mature Height: 30 - 36 InchesMature Spread: 30 - 36 InchesSpacing: 30 - 36 InchesHabit: UprightFlower Color(s): YellowFlower Description: Bloom Period: Foliage Type: Semi-EvergreenFoliage Color(s): Blue, GreenFoliage Description: Seasonal Interest: Spring Flowering, Summer Flowering, Fall FloweringWatering: AverageResists: DeerTolerates: DroughtAttracts: Birds, Butterflies | All Plants > Perennials Plant Select 1005600-pc
