Side-oats Grama, Bouteloua curtipendula

$15.00

Side-oats is unique among grasses native to Minnesota. In mid-summer they produce a bloom of tiny orange flowers that dangle from what will become their seeds! It is a relatively short, clump forming native grass that is an attractive compliment to shorter statured flowers. It pairs well with other short native grasses like little bluestem, and blue grama. And like many native grasses, it is an important host plant for a number of native skipper moths!
