Looking for a hardy, drought-tolerant grass for your garden or pasture? Look no further than Bouteloua curtipendula, commonly known as Sideoats Grama or Sideoats Grass. This short prairie grass is native to the temperate and tropical New World, from Canada to Argentina. It grows to 12-40 inches and has blue-green foliage and bright purple flowers. It's a warm-season grass ideal for rocky slopes, mountainous plateaus, and sandy plains. It's drought- and cold-tolerant and is hardy in zones 4-9. Sideoats Grama is favored for foraging by livestock and is excellent for erosion control. It can also be used in cultivation as an ornamental plant for native and drought-tolerant gardens.
