Notes
'Hachita' blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis 'Hachita') is a grass for low maintenance beds, rock gardens, and naturalized areas. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average soil. It forms a clump 12 to 36 inches tall and 6 to 12 inches wide. Reddish purple flowers appear from early to late summer. Birds visit the plant, and it tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Blanket flower, Maiden pink, and Gro-Low fragrant sumac.
