Bouteloua Raises Eyebrows

Bouteloua Raises Eyebrows

Posted by Emerald Coast Growers on Sep 2nd 2026

Bouteloua is one of the most sought-after grasses to hit the market in years.

These compact North American natives top out at 2½ feet or less, making them a natural fit for landscape masses, retail containers, and sunny gardens. 'Little Blondie' keeps it even more compact at just 15–18".

Hardy for Zones 3–10 and exceptionally drought-tolerant once established, these sturdy grasses are perfectly suited to water-wise landscapes.

With exciting new breeding fueling their popularity, now’s the time to jump on this trending collection.

Bouteloua g. 'Little Blondie' PP36592

The grama grass selected by David Salman, formerly known as 'Zig Zag', got a new name. By any name, this stunning beauty is a coveted highlight in small gardens.

Summer brings striped eye-brow-like flowers that ripen to white. This hybrid blooms profusely but doesn't stray, as the seedheads are sterile. They hold nicely in place for added winter interest.

Mature height 15-18"

Bouteloua gracilis

aka Blue grama grass

A small handsome North American native with distinctive purple blooms from July to September.

Gray-green foliage turns bright gold in fall.

Bouteloua g. 'Honeycomb' PP33101

From Intrinsic Perennial Gardens.

Waving in the breeze, color-changing honey-hued seedheads look like lush eyelash-like pennants floating high above strong, slender upright stems.

The plant habit is full and dense, with less blade die-back than other varieties.

Bouteloua g. 'Blonde Ambition' PP22048

Heavy stands of chartreuse flowers mature quickly to fun blonde "eyelash" seedheads, held at a flirty angle.

Clumps of fine blue-green foliage complete the picture.

No wonder it's a Plant Select® winner!
